Tagnatica – Flash and flickr Mashup

admin — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 04:09:17 +0000

Since flickr released it’s API we have seen many wonderful mashups, however, Tagnatica is now one of my favorites. The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Simply type in a flickr tag on the initial screen and you’re presented with a circle made of of categories in that tag. As you hover over the images you can click on them and drill down through different categories or launch into a new one. Very fun.

Bubblr – Fun and Games With Flickr

admin — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 04:11:42 +0000

There are many applications that use the Flickr API to enrich our web experience, Bubblr is now at the top of my list. Bubblr allows you to search by tag or person and then to have some fun with the images. In their first screen you can search flickr images and then add thought and conversation bubble to them. Then you can publish them and send them to a friend. It feel like making a comic strip out of any flickr image. Additionally, there are two fun games to play. Memry and Phrasr are both worth checking out. Have fun!

BubbleShare's AJAX Image Zoom

admin — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 05:14:54 +0000

I’ve been interested in image galleries and slideshows since I started designing for the web in 1996. Recently AJAX and web 2.0 social features have changed the way we view and think about photo sharing. BubbleShare has just released a new AJAX image zoom feature that takes web-based image viewing to the next level. When you click on the BubbleZoom link, you’re presented with an AJAX magnifier that allows you to zoom in on any part of a image just by hovering over it with your mouse. This is an intuitive and helpful addition to any image viewing application.
