PhotoShakr.com A cool twist on a Flickr based widget

by Derek Anderson	Stumble this!	December 12th 2006

PhotoShakr.com has created a different twist to displaying your Flickr images.

They have created a customizable widget that allows you to display a “Flickr Set” of your choice. The widget displays your photos in a scattered pile.
The photos are completely random and it may appear as though some of your photos are missing.

“Shake It”
This jostles the photos around till you see more and allows you to ’sort of’ bring forward ones that interest you so you can click on them and view the actual photo.

This is Cool!
1. The only login information you need provide is your Flickr email login. (there is no registration needed to use PhotoShakr) Sweet!
2. Customizations include: Height and Width (pre selected or custom) Background color (select from color selector or input your custom color code)
3. It’s FREE! and unsupported by ads.

This is OK!
1. There is no “AdShakr” so you won’t be able to make much money off of this widget. Unless you are an Uber coding Master.
2. This is a Flash based widget that should be MySpace Friendly

This is a Bummer!
1. Your only source for photos is a Flickr account. Sorry PhotoBucket and other Image Host users.
2. PhotoShakr does work in MySpace (view working MySpace example) But you are not allowed to view the original photos.

Here is a PhotoShakr widget that I created.

Seems as though my photos are disappearing from the PhotoShakr. I need to find out why!
