Check this out - how about automatically finding photos that are tagged for a certain topic into a single timeline? As an example, I used the Tickr application at the Dipity website (http://www.dipity.com/mashups/tickr/) and typed in Pablo Picasso. This is the result:
Click on the photos to scroll through the stack. You can then post this into your blog, Facebook, whatever. It only grabs photos from Flickr, an online photo site where people post their picts, but it can still be a powerful tool.
How about another one on Vladimir Horowitz? Notice that some photos don't make sense - it can only look at the tags people have given the photos they post, but most of them are really great. You can add more specificity to the search keywords to see if that helps filter out the nonsense. Even cooler, click on Map, then click a marker, and it will show a photo associated with that location.
