Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
(via my twitter at pfmartin)
I was surfing through some TwitPic photos yesterday when it occured to me to check the domain http://flic.kr. Sure enough, Flickr/Yahoo owns it (.kr top-level domain for South Korea). My immediate thought was that it would be an excellent way to integrate Twitter functionality into what’s already the best photo-sharing site…and only moments after posting that thought, I discovered that they’re already on top of it…or at least they’ve integrated the code into the source. Someone has already taken the initiative to write a simple “Tweet this Photo” bookmarklet, which works great.
What makes it really strange, though, is that this has all happened in the past week. I suppose it’s just another indication that (a) Twitter is dominating headlines and attention recently, and (b) the internet is such a vicious echo-chamber that my seemingly original idea also occurred to people who actually have an impact in the very near past. Weird.
