A unique project from Yahoo! They came to us and asked for a fun IMVironment to help boost usage of their Messenger project, and we took it one major step forward. We use the Flickr API to help create a dynamic environment by loading in public domain photos from the Flickr community based on corresponding tags. Each time the user changes the month, they will get a new set of appropriately themed photos will load. The tags are completely customizable by Yahoo! using an XML feed.

Technologies Used: Flash, AS3, Flickr API
Developer: Malcolm Wilson
