Flickr tools and toys
If you follow Dabbled at all, you’ll know I’m a fan of the photo site, flickr.com. I love it, and I use it for Dabbled and for my personal stuff. But one of the neatest things about it is the open API which allows all kinds of cool toys and tools to be built for it. Even if you already use flickr, hopefully you’ll find some new info here!
My favorite flickr toy - Mosaic Maker. I use it to make the mosaics I post here. (Like this or this)
