Six Degrees of Flickr

Posted Monday, August 1st, 2005 at 2:46 pm by Richard in the stuff category.

Now this is a really nifty way to view photos through Flickr.

You just enter your Flickr username and it does this flash thing with you in the middle and your contacts on stalks around you. Click on a contact and it centres them and adds their contacts to the mix. You can just keep going and build up this linked map of flickr users. At any time you can stop off and view peoples photos.

Flickrgraph is very cool, if only I was that clever!

UPDATE: Giles Turnbull has written good Flickr article on MacDevCenter.com. There are some helpful advice and links to some more cool Flickr tools. In particular check out the spelling tool.

Another Flickr user has come up with a neat (Python) script which takes fifty photos based on a tag or tags, and overlays them. The results are stunning. Check out the ‘50 people see’ set.
