Flickr Wrappr: Uses the DBpedia API and for each of the 1.95 million DBpedia concepts, the wrappr generates a collection of flickr photos that depict the concept, utilizing multilingual labels and geo-coordinates provided in Wikipedia entries. Europe Photo Helix: A helix designed of Flickr photos of Europe. Flickr Mania: Flickr browser that also lets you geo-tag Flickr photos via a GPS track file.

Scrapbookgraphics- Computer Scrapbooking Digital Scrapbooking Laura’s Notebook | Technology for Non-profit Organisations, Soci There’s been much excitement in the media during the past week about a new widget application called Sprout. It aims to be an easy to use Flash based interface with simple drag-and-drop features, to build live, interactive multimedia content that can easily be added to any web page. Once a user publishes a Sprout widget, it can be copied to any website in much the same way as an embedded YouTube video clip. If you make updates to your ‘Sprout’ when logged into your account, it will update on all of the websites you have embedded your homegrown sprout on. Quick and easy. It’s still in closed beta stage currently, but you can sign up now ready for when it gets to public release. I ran a workshop for non-profits earlier this week on the topic of getting a website for organisations, focussing on many of the free or quick ways available to get an online presence easily. Above is a screenshot of the Sprout home page. Just take a look at the Sprout home page when viewed through a Lynx viewer.
