Flickr as mobile community translator

Here is a thought I had about taking the community photo sharing concept and flip it to something completely different.

Imagine yourself walking in a strange street on a foreign country. You do not know the language but you really need to know what is written on this sign. You feel that something is wrong:

Now, you have 2 options:

1. Imagine you are taking a picture of this sign with your camera phone and sending it to your flickr account adding the tags: Translate, English.

In that moment, a community of people that are "listening" to these tags using RSS reader (or in a special zone in flickr site) look at the picture and translate it in the comment area in your Album. Either you get an alert by sms or you will surf to your album using a mobile phone browser and see the translation.

2. You can find someone that doesn't know to keep a secret and speaks your language.

Nostagic Screen saver

Greggman say:

"No, not Nostalgic as in an old screensaver, Nostalgic as in when you use this screensaver you will feel nostalgic because this screensaver shows your images in a way similar to how many documentaries and biographies show still images from a history or a person's past something like the image below."
