Flickr and Your Many More Ways to Use It

The list is endless because of the public's interest in inventing new ways to use Flickr!
Flickr's communication regarding this:
"Flickr has an open Application Programming Interface (API for short).This means that anyone can write their own program to present public Flickr data (like photos, video, tags, profiles or groups) in new and different ways. There's a long list of API methods available to you to work with, and we love it when this happens, so... go forth and play!" (http://www.flickr.com/services/)

Some of my favorite ones include:
Mappr - Using information from photograph descriptions to map where pictures are taken.
Delivr - Create free e-postcards using your pictures and images in Flickr
Retrievr - By System One Labes - "A lovely experiment, retrievr lets you search and explore in a selection of Flickr images by drawing a rough sketch and then seeing which of our interesting photos come up as a match. Beware! You will spend hours poring over the stunning (and sometimes unexpected) results." (http://www.flickr.com/services/)
