Tag Galaxy provides a beautiful, animated format for exploring images that have been tagged in Flickr. Great source for conversation/oral fluency activities: students can search for a word related to a current unit topic (e.g, "clothing," "almuerzo," "hanami") and then practice talking about what they see in the images. Seems to only accept input in roman characters.

Mediathread is an open-source platform for exploration, analysis, and organization of web-based multimedia content. Mediathread connects to a variety of image and video collections (such as YouTube, Flickr, library databases, and course libraries), enabling users to lift items out of these collections and into an analysis environment. In Mediathread, items can then be clipped, annotated, organized, and embedded into essays and other written analysis.
