SharePoint with Flickr

I'm getting more and more impressed with Flickr, an online photo managment system, no only with the service itself but more so what people are doing with it. Roy Osherove pointed me to a service that a photographer named kaster created. You input a line of text and spell anything you want using Flickr images. Of course I had to do the obvious:

It does stir up some ideas in my head around enhancing the photo library templates in SharePoint to be more like a Flickr type interface. Better to use from a gallery perspective and you could be able to serve up images through web services, have Web Parts feed off images (like the example above). Lots of potential. Who says SharePoint is just for documents?

Check out the Flickr mod here and start creating your own unique banners or something with it.
