Flickr Search Connectr for Windows 7 Search Federation

Long Zheng offers a bit of Windows 7 goodness to the community: I’m announcing the availability of “ Flickr Search Connectr ” for Windows 7. If you have a copy of Windows 7 and the tubes aren’t blocked, I encourage you to try it for yourself. So what is this voodoo you might be asking? Well this is actually a combination of two components, both carefully put together in a couple of hours by amateur programmer yours truly. The first is a OpenSearch Description File generator (also known as the “Search Connector” in Windows 7) and the second is a Flickr web service. Combined, they allow you to search and access images on Flickr right in the Windows 7 Explorer using the new “Search Federation” platform. Nice! (Plus, kudos for “Connectr”. :)
