Multicolr drops Flickr goodness

In my search to find all things cool with the Flickr API, I ran across the MultiColr Search Lab created by Idee. MultiColr employs a super easy interface for searching Flickr photos by their color palette. I found it to be very useful for finding different color schemes and combinations.

Idee seems to be on the forefront of color technology these days. They’ve also released a tagging app that return combinations of photos and another app that allows the user to upload or point Idee to a photo and they’ll tell you what it resembles. Very cool, folks. Check it out.

Playing with Flickr

I updated my Flickr account a couple days ago and since then I found a some decent apps that use Flickr’s API.

Tag Galaxy – A Flash-based web app. Allows you to search for a tag on Flickr, the app then overlays the photo results on a sphere. Click and drag the mouse left or right to spin the sphere. Click a photo to zoom.

Wrapr – Flickr panoramic images can be wrapped into an interactive panorama. Also available is the option to embed the interactive pano. Looks like panoramas can only be accessed through existing Flickr groups. Some are better than others.
