Flexplore.raum-fuer-notizen.de - More Flickr Fun

Flickr has been a favorite among photo sharing enthusiasts. It was the little photo sharing site that could and it keeps on going. It has also spawned a number of innovative tools, add-ons and apps. One of the latest of these Flickr toys is called Flexplore. Flexpore offers a new way for exploring Flickr photos. Sure there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of photos to find on Flickr and there’s even a search, but it’s often hard find things that match your tastes. This is where Flexplore excels. Simply enter a Flickr username, url or NSID, and Flexplore will analyze your favorites, contacts and then find photos that you might like. The site is currently in alpha and requires a bit of a waiting time to come up with photos suited to you. Wait times can be as long as an thirty or more minutes depending on how many favorites you have. But the results may surprise you.

“flexplore analyses your favorites and people you share them with and tries to recommend photos you might like based on that. so it only works really well if you have lots of favorites (at least 100).”

Flexplore works for those wanting to get more from their Flickr. It lets you see photos that you may not have seen before. And it manages to find photos that matches your tastes and likings.

Will Flexplore’s long wait time be its demise? Who will use Flexplore? Can it gain critical mass?
