Thing 11 Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites

Like many Web 2.0 sites, Flickr has encouraged people to build their own online applications using images found on the site.
Through the use of APIs (application programming interfaces), many people have created third party tools and mashups that use Flickr images.
Mashups are hybrid web applications that take features from one application (like Flickr) and mash it up with another (like Montager).

Here are just a few examples …
Flickr Color Pickr - lets you find public photos in Flickr that match a specific color.
Montager – creates a photo mosaic from photos found on Flickr.
