Flickr Groups - the flowers of Norway, the sunsets of Japan
Not many folks are using this feature of earthalbum, so I thought I’d just write about it again in more detail because I think it is one of the neater things you can do with earthalbum.
If you are a Flickr enthusiast, you can use earthalbum to browse any Flickr group by simply constructing the following URL: http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/groupname. For example, if you want to see the Flickrgroup “fishes”, you can go to: http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/fishes.
You can search for Flickr groups here. After you see find a group that you like, click on the group name, and you’ll be brought to a page with a URL that looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/blackandwhite/. All you have to do at that point is take the part after http://www.flickr.com/groups/ (in this case “blackandwhite”), put it in the groupname, and voila! you’re set.
Some more examples:
- http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/blackandwhite
- http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/sunrisesunset
- http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/florus (flowers)

That’s a cool feature. If interesting groups are listed in earthalbum home, that makes me to use the feature more often.
