A great way to search Flickr
Flickr Related Tag Browser offers an interesting and comfortable way to search Flickr using tags. You enter a starting tag of your choice on the homepage of the service, and the website retrieves and displays the relevant information and pictures from Flickr. 25 of the pictures are shown as tiny thumbnails which increase in size if you moves the mouse over any of them.
A click on a thumbnail image opens a small preview of the photo right next to the list of thumbnails. It is usually enough to evaluate the image displayed this way. From here it is then possible to visit the image's page on Flickr, for instance to look at a larger version of it, read user comments or rate or comment it yourself.
You can alternatively load the next batch of thumbnails right on the Flickr browser page to browse additional thumbnails right on the page. The controls are tiny and easily overlooked.
Related tags are shown as a circle around the thumbnails making it easy to explore more pictures by simply clicking on another tag.
Some tags have no related tags which essentially means that no related tags are shown around the thumbnails. Images are displayed pretty fast, it never took longer than a few seconds to display all 25 thumbnails. Guess it depends on the connection of the connected user though.
It may take a moment to get accustomed to the search engine as it is really unique in the way it presents results to you. What I particularly like about it is that it displays related tags that you can explore which you may not have otherwise. That's great for finding additional photos related to your search for instance.
Note that the search interface requires the Adobe Flash plugin in the browser to work at all.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:

Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
