Where have all the dropped "e"s gone, long time passing...

First of all, I have to make a comment about the unique spelling and use of metaphor used by technophobes in naming applications, software, programs, etc. It would make for an interesting study for an anthropologist somewhere (not me). The dropped e's (Flickr, Retrievr, Tumblr), the word combos (blog), the misspelling (Mappr) all utterly techi.

Anyway, this is really cool. I've been checking out the 3rd party applications on Flickr and discovered Retriever, oops, Retrievr (it's hard to spell incorrectly!!). This program has you sketch something, and then it "retrievs" photos on Flickr that are similar in some way to what you drew. I drew a crude treble clef symbol, and found this cool photo:

Anyways, Flickr is a great way to organize, display, and share photos, but I for one don't have spare time to download my photos off my camera, much less to Flickr. Speaking in terms of work, however, it would be a great way to share photos taken of library programs.
