We’re on the verge of a new year and we’re still producing the podcasts. No sleep for us!
We’d like to thank our photo of the week winner vulcanhalfbreed365. Nobody really wins anything, but it’s fun to recognize and talk about the interesting photos that people submit.
Also on the podcast plate, in our continuing series, we talked about Flickr mash-ups and the directory of nearly 300 different Flickr related mash-ups. And the mash-up we featured was Feel Image, a application that aggregates multiple photo sharing sites and makes them searchable by tags. This one has some real potential.
On the news front we highlighted a new Mac OS X application called Flickr Fan, which integrates the RSS feeds from Flickr into the operating system screen saver. Right now it’s in beta, but I like what I see so far. I haven’t used it, but I’m told there’s a similar program called Slickr for the PC people.
In our last bit of news we discussed the story about FOX stealing the content from a Flickr user to use on an NFL broadcast; it’s becoming more and more common for corporations to steal content from average people instead of paying for it.
And lastly, we have a new feature: question of the week. Each week we’ll pose a new question, which we ask you to answer either via the comment line or email, then next week we’ll discuss the responses.
The question this week is, Do people use more than one online photo sharing web site?
Thanks for listening, and we’ll talk to you next week.
