Zurf’s Up
| Thursday, June 7th, 2007 | --Sean |
Have you ever been walking around a scenic location and wondered, "Man, I wonder what all of this scenery around me looks like," but didn't actually want to physically look at it? If so, then Zurfer is the application for you! At a basic level, Zurfer uses ZoneTag to figure out where your phone is, and then can pull down photos from Flickr that were taken in the area -- things look better through a 2"x2" viewscreen anyway. Heh, I dunno, maybe it's just me that finds that amusing. In case that's getting a bit too technologically dependent for you, you can also configure Zurfer to show you Flickr photos from your contacts, groups, and favorite tags, or keep track of activity across your own photos.
But mainly I'd use it because, as indicated at the bottom of the Zurfer homepage, it makes you better looking and socially popular. Can't go wrong with that.
