Phrasr - Flickr based photo-word-slideshow maker

Phrasr is Flickr fun
Phrasr is an interesting little flash-based Flickr app that let's you play with words and Flickr photos. Basically, you start by typing in words - which could be a cohesive sentence or a random jumble of words - click "start," and Phrasr will get busy by finding photos on Flickr that relate to those words and attach them by lining them up into a sort of slideshow.

Then you can do a little bit of editing work, if you're up to it. Although the initial serve up of images might be nice, you may want to browse through some more choices. You can change any of the photos by clicking "change," and Phrasr will search for other photos that relate to that word. Some words such as "is" "I" or "the," don't get a photo associated automatically, so you'll have to pick them out yourself if you want photos for them.

Once you have created the ideal word-slideshow, give it a title, add your name if you really want to, and hit publish. You can then check out the original photos on Flickr, send your creation to a friend via e-mail, check out what other people have made, or make another one. So if you've been waiting for a way to breathe life into a quote or phrase you like, or just want to remind someone to "do the recycling" with a bit of visual flair, Phrasr is there to help.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
