Amazing 3D images on Flickr

Every now and again something comes along along online that is just so stunning and really makes you stop and wonder at what’s possible with all the content we’re creating through social media.

A pretty cool Flickr and Twitter mashup that allows you to create a cartoon out of pretty much any word. Try it out for yourself here. The site matches your word to Flickr photos and the latest relevant tweet. We’re sure this has lots of good uses, but more than anything it’s a bit of fun!

Earth Album

This is a great site that pulls in Flickr photos from destinations around the world, combined with Google Maps. It couldn’t be simpler to use, just click on a place and see some of the great photos that have been taken there.
