Thing 6: This "Retrievr" is a golden mashup

I used to think Flickr was not for me. I don't take pictures, I don't own a camera, I keep all the Kodak moments in my mind and my heart, I have nothing to share. Now "23 things" forces me to take another look at Flickr and the mashups that are used with this service, the results are fascinating. I particulary like the combination of Flickr and Retrievr and this is how it works. First I draw a sketch, then Retrievr will display matching images that are taken out of the Flickr collections. It doesn't really matter if the images actually match with what I draw, it's the anticipation of what Retrievr can come up with makes it exciting.

It's a fun way to search photos and it's addictive!!
