Fun with Flickr/Mashups

Tonight I poked around with Flickr/mashups and liked some more than others.

I liked Spell with Flickr, I don't know what I'd use it for, but it was neat to click on the letters and have it pull up new ones. The dark background and font was a bit of overkill. It might be my bad eyes, but I gave up trying to read the blog. I was also surprised to see the coding towards the bottom of the screen. I'm not sure what it's there for...I did appreciate that the ads were optional and not forced upon you. It was odd that all the links took you to the same google ads page, but that's why it's a mashup and not a polished product.

I am very intrigued by the Trading Card Maker, but that will require being on my home PC and my digital library. Being board games geeks, this definitely could have usable applications. I used some sample images and even without thinking too hard came up with a neat card. The hard part will be creating a viable game to go with them. It's like making your own Magic deck!
