There are so many great photos added every day on Flickr. So many, that no human being can ever rank them. FlickrCombat's aim is to manage to do that, involving the community power.
Web 2.0 applications pop up daily in the virtual scenery. Flickrcombat.com is a mashup that is offering an effective process to involve the community in revealing the best Flickr photos (sourced via the flickr.com API) and at the same time to keep things interesting and entertaining. In the good web 2.0 spirit, the users exercise an influence over the content and the more they get involved, the more value they add to the application.
So what is FlickrCombat all about? Two pictures in each combat, seven categories to choose from, and a top 21 that says it all. Users can choose from several categories – babes, cars, cats, dogs, views, guys and art – and vote on one picture they like best out of two. The rank of each picture is determined by the number of defeats, wins and combats. The users can enjoy the result of their rating checking out the goodies in the top.
