A little bit of background... I remember reading
this and thinking to myself I think
Flickr is great for surfing MOCs if you know where to look. About a few
weeks ago, I started playing around with phpFlickr, thinking that it would be
easy to build a quick & dirty web-site to find AFOL MOCs. I think one of the
problem with Flickr is if you go searching for pictures tagged with ‘LEGO’
you get a lot of AFOLs’ photos and everything else -- pictures from the LEGO
extremist, to the mom posting pictures of something she thought was cute that
her kids built from LEGO, but of something that only a mother could love.
So in response, I threw together this:
http://www.brickbuildr.com/
It’s a comprehensive list of LEGO Flickr groups, and a few dozen Flickr users
from the AFOL community. It’s very basic, nothing fancy. And it will evolve
when I get some more free time to play with it.
In the mean time, I’m open to suggestions. Let me know what you think about
it. If there’s something that can be improved, let me know. You know of
other Flickr LEGO groups that should be added, let me know. If you want your
Flickr photostream to be up on the web-site, send me an email. If you’ve got
good ideas on how to improve this project & make Flickr more AFOL-friendly,
let me know.
This project is not a BrickShelf replacement -- thank you for BrickShelf and
your hard work, Kevin, btw. This is not to be yet another image hosting
site, but a more AFOL-friendly view of Flickr.

Good work! This sounds like what a lot of people were asking for.
One suggestion is to get the feeds for each Flickr user’s “LEGO” tag - here’s
Chris Giddens’ - so you see
only that user’s LEGO-related images. Another suggestion would be to break down
the groups by theme and the users by letter as the lists grow longer.
Thanks for your efforts, Michael.

| (...) Okay.. this has been changed. Now you'll only see the lastest 6 LEGO images from a person's photostream. But this also means that people need to tag their photos correctly in Flickr to get them to show up on BrickBuildr. Right now, it's only (...) (17 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
