PhotoPhlow – FlickrLive 2: Electric Boogaloo?

Check out PhotoPhlow.com is a newly launched site that integrates well with flickr. It’s derived from the old FlickrLive, a flash-based chat area with live picture sharing (which was in turn derived from a web-based game called Game Neverending). Interestingly, the new version has a lot more search capability built in.

A really interested thing just happened – a Flickereeno from California logged in to say he just felt an earthquake. Within minutes you could search for earthquake in the left sidebar area and find various images related to this super-recent event.

You can refresh every time you click the button next to the search bar. You can add photos to your flickr favorites. This is a very cool thing. I can see some very cool applications for this, including a nice way to share artwork with clients who are out of town. Or if you’re in Africa and you want to show your friends the photos you were taking, in real time as you upload them.
