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 (URL) Chris Giddens'> - so you see only that user's LEGO-related images. Another suggestion would (...)
