Fire Island Blog

I often use Flickr to look for interesting photos to use in mockups. I’m usually looking for a certain subject, so Flickr tags are a great fit for this. Trouble is it involves a few too many clicks and becomes frustrating if you do it repeatedly, plus Flickr searches default to ‘Most recent’ which are usually a bit dull.

So I made a little bookmarklet that I keep in my browser toolbar. Click it and it gives you a prompt box, enter the subject/tag you are looking for and you’ll be redirected straight to a Flickr results page filtered by ‘Most interesting’. Six clicks reduced down to just one!

Just bookmark this link or drag and drop it to your toolbar…
