Tag Galaxy – Explore Photostreams
Thursday, May 29 2008
Tag Galaxy provide a rich interface to Flickr photostreams. Type a photo attribute such as “beach” and Tag Galaxy returns all photos from Flickr tagged with the word “beach” along with frequently related tags such as “island”, “water”, and “sunset”. The results are represented as planets orbiting in a microcosm of outer space. Planet sizes are relative to each other based on the number of photos returned.
A mouse click on a planet will zoom to the surface terrain which is composed of previews of Flickr photos.
Now if they only allowed searching by Creative Commons licensing, this could be even more practical for web and print designers.
