[this is aaronland] proof of concept : what's on first?
Mad scientist Aaron polls the New York Times for metadata keywords, matches them to http://del.icio.us/ "tags", crosschecks those against http://www.flickr.com/ image "tags"... RDFs it all and spits out a nifty SVG graph.
So... um... how do we make this.. um.. useful?
Perhaps an Etherpeg-style UI?
Well, one possibility would be to create a bookmarklet that :
* gets the URL for the current page
* polls del.icio.us for corresponding tags and then flickr for images expecting, in return, something RDF or XML -ish
* uses the browser's DOM to squirt in the necessary HTML to display thumbnail images (with magic CSS hover: resizing) -- say, floating along the right-hand side of the page
* redraws the page
Careful readers will note that you could also do something similar with other services, like technorati...
