Awesome Search Tools for Finding Flickr Images
As there are tons of pictures on Flickr, sometimes finding the right images can be a tedious task. This week I have here for you 2 awesome search tools for finding Flickr images.
1. Tag Galaxy This search engine tool can help us narrow the search for a more efficient search. After entering the search term in the search box, the image of the sun with planets circling the sun will appear. The sun represents the initial search term and each planet represents a related tag or an additional term.
2. Flickr Related Tag Browser The result from this search engine contains an initial 30 images surrounded by a cluster of over 20 related keywords or tags.
This two search tools can help us a lot as they provide related tags. We will have more choices of search terms and at the same time the tools help us refine the search.

Ornisa !
Your topic is so good. About tag galaxy, I've just known that it related flickr so teachers can use this tool to teach the students, can't they?
Yes, Ratana. Teachers can introduce these tools to their students. It is good for them to know. It helps save time for those who want to make use from images on Flickr.
That is so freaking cool! I had a hard time understanding it a first but once i got down the concept i really started to like it.
These are great tools to use with Flikr! I am going to try them out this weekend.
It's amazing how many ways there are that teachers can use tools to help students (and to make searching for information easier for themselves, too). Like everyone else, I really like these ideas- thanks for sharing!
