Mashups & Generators
Flickr
A very successful and popular photo sharing community. It contains many ways to find photos interesting to the user either by the user who made the photo or by the tag related to the picture. First off, lets have a look at some interesting Photos from Flickr's own list generated by their algorithm:

Flickr Mashups
http://www.krazydad.com/colrpickr/ - A Flickr mashup which chooses pictures including a main color based on the color chosen by the user.
http://mapito.eu/ - A Helix of photos from Flickr of locations in Europe.
Mashups vary very different from one to another and as such the functions vary depending on how the user wants to use the mashup. They can simply be a form of entertainment or a user may be deciding on where to take a vacation and use photos of locations which interest them to make their decisions.
