Tag Galaxy

Have you ever heard of Tag Galaxy?

It's this super neat software program that gives you a star-like sphere with little planets - i.e. a galaxy.  to You enter whatever tag you want (for instance, "quilt")  and then it pulls in related tags (hand-made, fabric, etc.) which rotate around your "sun", and then pulls in all the pictures from Flickr with those tags.



Then you click your sun, and all the tagged photos coalesce on your sun,



You can click individual quilts all around your sun (your sun rotates as you click) and look at each of them:


And if you double click the pic it will you give all the information the original quilter supplied with their picture, or you can click on the information and it will take you to Flickr if you want to look at that individual's photo stream.



And when you're done looking at all the quilts on the rotation, click "next" (and here's the super fun part!) the next level of pictures come flying in at your sun, and you have a whole new set of quilts to look at.



Of course, you can choose a different tag than "quilt", but why would you?  ;)

Happy Wednesday!

  4. Hi Lynn,

    I'm having a quiet few days, actually - we've got some family stuff going on, and I've been travelling back and forth to London to spend time with my family in hospital and out of it. Tonight I have my guild meeting (supposing I don't have to go back to London tonight) and tomorrow night is date night with Beloved Spouse. So I don't imagine I'll be working at all until this weekend although I have a journal quilt due on Friday. Ooops!

    :)

  5. Hang in there - and I don't think Kit would be mad at Kit if the Journal Quilt is delayed ;-))
