Flickr Typography

Today I found a great open source php script that uses the flickr api to allow you to spell a word out of photos of letters that people have uploaded and tagged. After you type in a word and generate it, you can click on the individual letters to change them until you're satisfied. Try it out

An example:

If you're not familiar with flickr, you should check it out. Its a great way to share your photos online and you can get a free account. One of the most innovative ideas behind flickr is the ability for people to tag photos with one or more tags. A tag is like a keyword and you can search easily by tag. Here's the results of photos tagged with the word typography.

Other great sites that use tags are del.icio.us and technorati.

Here's another flickr word with live images and links:

Technorati tags: , , , ,
