Flickrvision

If you find it dreadfully boring to look at photo albums of people you know, let alone those of complete strangers, read no further. But if you enjoy such voyeuristic glimpses into the lives of others, here’s the site for you. Flickrvision, a relatively new site still in beta, showcases photos that have been recently uploaded to the popular image-sharing site Flickr. As Flickr users upload their photos, the images pop up on a map of the world—along with the user’s name, profile location and how long ago the image was posted to Flickr (usually within the past two minutes). It’s easy to get sucked into the site, which allows you to view candid photos—from the mundane to the unbelievabl—aken from around the globe. On a recent trip to the site, we saw photos from a wedding in Seattle, Wash., a new-born baby in Warsaw, Poland, and a foosball tournament in Rennes, France.
