Assignment #6

#6) While reading about Flickr mashups I learned about an open Application Programming Interface (API). This permits a person to write their own program and present public Flickr data in a fresh and creative way. Time can get away from a person while viewing the 3rd party sites. They are very interesting and enjoyable

One of the mashups that I found very intriguing was Mappr. The earliest known maps were those found carved on the stone walls of caves. Today you can use Mappr and take Flickr images and paste them on a map. Quite an improvement!
