Mosaickr Test
Here is an image mosaic created using mosaickr. I found about this tool/website through lifehacker.
Basically, what it does is that you select the image you want to create the mosaic with and then use images from your flickr account (either by random selection or you choose the picture your photo or even other users’ photostream) for the mosaic “tiles.”
What do I think about it? the user interface is horrid slow (probably because it’s being flocked by Gawker subscribers at the moment). By the time you finish selecting the mosaic tiles (even with random selection) you almost don’t care anymore. The low resolution is free, the higher resolution isn’t. I would have paid for the higher resolution, but since the interface is painfully slow, I opted for using the random selection of images for the mosaic tiles, so my mosaic has random images of lizards and camera lenses which i didn’t want. I’ll probably take a look at it again in the near future…it looks promising, but IMO it’s not ready for prime time.
