Week #3 task 6 - more flickr

I chose to look at some of the flickr mashups / links and found one called 'palette organiser' (don't ask me how I found it!). It looked like it might be good for anyone who does scrapbooking, or similar crafts, because you could upload a photo and then palette organiser suggests appropriate colours which may complement your work. I am a big sewer (the English language really is hard to get on with sometimes - I mean that I do a lot of sewing!) so I could probably use this program (or similar) to determine which colours of fabrics complement others. I'm a little wary of some of these 'rules' about what colours go with others, but it could still be fun.

I also had a look at 'retrievr' which allows you to sketch a small picture in a retrieval box, and see if flickr can retrieve similar images. It's very experimental, and started to get a little surreal, as I drew in a picture of a smiley face, and it found a miserable face with tears!

I had a look at the librarian tradingcards too, but got a bit confused as I couldn't work out what you actually do with them?
