I’ve been spending a scant half-hour on the Flickr blog and found several interesting things.

Mainly Photojojo, which has lots of interesting tips, tricks and tutorials.

They also have Time Capsule, an interesting gizmo that delves into your own Flickr photos from last year and emails interesting ones to you. I signed up and it sent me this, from last March when I was up to my neck in leaflets for the elections in Nottingham and Chesterfield.

There was also a link to Postcrossing an interesting idea that has obviously grown from Bookcrossing. On Postcrossing, you register your name and address and then click a button to get addresses from other users around the world. You send a postcard to someone on the other side of the planet, and in return the website will have a postcard sent to you from somewhere else. I’ve registered, and got addresses in Finland, France, Spain, Germany and Canada. Should keep me busy for a wee while!

Obviously, Flickr’s great for photographs, but I’ve been paying a bit of attention to the social and discussion sides too, since discovering there’s going to be a national Flickrmeet in Nottingham. We’re also having a little local meet in Newstead next Saturday.
