ADVERTISEMENTS

Flickr is the most popular Photo sharing site, you can spend hours on Flickr browsing photos by tags and its fun to see how people share photos of similar tags. Building new functionality or enhancement to the popular websites is not new nawa days. Tag Galaxy has come up with really innovative way of browsing Flickr photos.

Type in a tag in the Tag Galaxy, and you’ll get a small solar system of related tags, with more relevant tags being the inner planets, their orbit decreasing with relevance. It’s a cute little 3D tag world, but what makes it so cool is how responsive and fast it is; for example, you can click and drag for rotation, or use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Click a tag, then click another tag, and you’ll get results for both tags combined.

By selecting any planet from tag search result, Tag galaxy will start showing images as tiles around the planet. you can rotate that planet in any direction with mouse. by clicking on thumbnail image you can zoom in and read the addition information about that photo and link to Flickr page
