Flickr Trends
March 3rd, 2009Based on Derek’s NYT Trender and some APIs we haven’t gotten around to releasing, I spent 20 minutes whipping up Flickr Trends yesterday morning.
App Engine is awesome for this kind of stuff.
Favorite’s I’ve found so far:
- snow vs flowers
- party vs wedding
- jumping vs hdr (oooh, 365 vs hdr is more fun.)

Sure, but that would have required work, and stuff.
Cats are up!
Well done.
