Flittr: Twitter/Flickr mashup

I have just finished deploying the alpha of Flittr, a toy that mashes up tweets with images on Flickr. I'm using Rails for rapid development and the Twitter4R and Fleakr gems. I'm keen for feedback.

I dig it! Glad you found Fleakr useful - I gave your app a mention over at my blog (http://sneaq.net/fleakr-in-the-wild-flittr)

Nicely done.

Yeah, I really like this concept, too. I'm doing some less poetic work in the Kete project for "contextual search" which returns matching items from search aggregators... Some similarities in concept, but I like the tie-in with Twitter that adds such a nice temporal element. It's kind of an illustration of the "texture" of our times.

Very cool.
