I’ve got a few ideas to help make Flickr and even cooler app.
- On a photo page, where it lists the camera model used to take the picture, why not link that to a page with more info about the camera? Doesn’t have to be an “ecommerce” tie-in, but at least a way to find out more…
- When browsing photos in My Favorites, it would be cool if the photos were displayed in context of the favorites, as if it were a Set.
- How about a way to search items in My Favorites – view the tag cloud for the photos, or have a search field, or something… Now that the Interestingness stuff is going full speed, I’m gathering a lot of faves.
- RSS feed for my faves?
- Star ratings for photos? Allow anyone to “tag” anyone’s photos (including their own) with a star rating…
- Why can’t I add my own photos to My Favorites?
- Calendar view for my faves?
That’s it for now. Really digging the Interestingness stuff…

Over the years, I have taken several series of quick-and-dirty panorama photographs. No tripod. No careful alignment. Just snapping a series of shots at various angles at cool or memorable places. I’ve been hoping that the software would catch up and make it brain-dead simple and quick to make high quality panoramas. Autostitch has finally done that.
I’ve been playing with Autostitch for a while now, but just went back through the iPhoto archives and dragged 14 sets of panorama series, and fed them into Autostitch to see what came out. The results aren’t consistently great (my older camera had lower res, and image quality was poorer), but they’re pretty darned good.

Here are some of the better ones…

My Flickr feed for water just turned up this amazing photo of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan.
I simply must go there… Evan would go ape over the big fissies.

Either this is a new feature, or I totally overlooked it. Either way, this is very cool.
Flickr has a calendar view of your photostream – showing when photos were taken or posted. What an easy and powerful way to see what you’ve done (and where you’ve been) in a given 5-week period.
In this calendar view, I can see when I was in Vancouver for MW2005 (the blue sunset on the 13th), went hiking with Evan on the 17th. Got the new camera and tested it out on the 23rd, and went to San Francisco and Rohnert Park for the Pachyderm Pow-wow from the 25-27th. A month at a glance!

Kris Krug posted a link to The FlickrVerse, April 2005 – a beautiful poster generated from a subset of Flickr users, and their relationships.
The map isn’t a complete view on the Flickrverse, but on 2367 users – I’m not in there, but Roland Tanglao is.
It seems to validate this research from IBM’s Almaden Research Center that suggests that a map of links between nodes on the web roughly forms a bowtie shape.

My childhood haunt: Canyon Meadows and Fish Creek Park
I just tried my hand at rolling a Memory Map using maps.google.com and Flickr. Seems like a pretty powerful way to document a childhood (or a vacation, or whatnot). It would be even cooler if you could link photos in Flickr to notes or locations on another image…

Trying the Flickr Blog This feature…
Hey. that worked pretty well! Easy peasy. Some more-complicated-than-necessary HTML in the new post, but that’s not fatal. Cool.

This was Evan last Monday at Kananaskis Village. He loves climbing, and loved toboganning down the side of Mount Kidd even more.
I only posted this to test out the Photon iPhoto plugin. It works, but seems a bit rough with what it does to the new post. Had to come in and clean a bunch of stuff up.
