Now that I’ve got a Mac, I could play around with Konfabulator.

The screenshot that you see is my first attempt at creating a widget. It shows the latest ten public photos from your Flickr contacts (navigation using the prev/next buttons). (You need to set your Flickr login email the first time you run it.) Clicking on the photo title takes you to its Flickr page. Something like this probably already exists, but I wrote it so I could play around.

It’s amazingly simple to create a widget. Hopefully I’ll hack something more useful some day.

I’ve tested this only on Mac OS X Tiger, but it should work on Windows too. Download: FlickrFriends.widget »
