Over at Blogher, contributing editor Laura Scott shared two fun tools. The first is Spell with Flickr created by Kastner
"What is this? Spell with Flickr is a small program that lets you type in whatever you want, then goes to flickr and grabs pictures for each an every letter! It also allows you to change the images that you see, so you can find better images for your word or phrase!"
In addition, to Spell with Flickr, Laura also shared EGO SURF
"Whether it's big or not so much, if you've ever done a vanity search, you want to check out EgoSurf.
The idea is quite simple: You enter your name or online handle, and your blog URLs, and let the site go to work.What's different -- and what makes the site more than just another whimsical web 2.0 widget -- is that they actually run a "deep search" and qualify those hits that come up:
"Using our patent pending deepthroat™ search technology, we seek deeper than most. Using one degree of separation, we look at each page retrieved by the search engines, and seek out links to your sites.
This deep searching routes out even the most obscure references. Our finely tuned egopoints algorithm is then applied to the search result".
After you check out your own ego, it also lets you see who else is ego searching and who has the biggest ego. when I searched for the top 50 I was very surprised to see my ego is in very good company. I really had no idea !
