Twitter and Flickr mashups

Before anyone cries “Mashups are sooo 2008″, check out the Mashable post listing five Flickr/Twitter mashups – all of which are highly enjoyable. If nothing else, it demonstrates what can be achieved with such a mass of accurately tagged/keyworded content – Flickr in the form of an engaged and committed tagging community and Twitter by merit of Tweets being so short that they can mostly be used as a bunch of keywords. Using this model, Flittr adds visual detail to tweets by taking the last tweet from a user and adding a mosaic of 16 Flickr pictures, usually with very apt results.
