Flikr Related Tag Browser: Does What It Says

Recently, Friday's have been for data display apps that are more for aesthetic purposes than practical ones. Keeping with that trend, today Appify brings you a review and visual walkthrough of an app simply called "Flickr Related Tag Browser". The entirely flash based app coded by Felix Turner at Air Tight Interactive is phenominal.

It parses images that are the result of Flickr tag searches and displays them in a really simply way. The interface is quick, agile and ridiculously easy to navigate. Since this app is less about data visualization and more about image visualization, there isn't much display about a pictures relationship to another picture. However, it does display a ring of related tags that one can click through to other tags.

I decided to stop rating data visualizers the same way as other apps because it's like comparing ninjas to pirates, two different realms entirely. However, with this app, I would like to see visual cues of how each of the tags relate to each other.

What's your favorite Flickr visualizer?
