It's raining Flickr, hallelujah

Heard of Flickr Storm?  It's a Flickr search engine that searches Flickr in the standard way for your search term, including very specific Creative Commons license limits (which is my favorite part), and keeps a history of photos you have clicked on.  The kicker is that it also brings up another set of results right under the standard results with what the engine considers to be "related" images.  For example, a search for my name brought back "related" images of other Sarahs (some of whom looked as remarkably pale and pasty as I do).

According to the site's cryptic self-description:

It works by looking for more than what you enter to find related and more relevant images... Be suprised!

Take a look.  See what you think.
