It's always great to see how different people use the tools in really useful ways. Mai has just started a blog that captures and comments on street fashion in SF (thanks to Awesome which is...awesome). But it is Mai's Flickr account where the magic happens. If you worked for a fashion company, retailer, or maybe an ad agency, why not set up Flickr slideshows to play on your hallway computer displays (if you have them - we do). And as you might guess, Mia has some company out there with many people posting snaps they take on the street of fashion - mostly youth.
Do you need an expensive trendwatcher to offer reports of what folks are wearing out there? Only if they offer insight along with it.
Set up your in-office flatscreens that usually cycle the work created by the agency/company for outside visitors to display slideshows from these Flickr feeds. These internal screens will spark conversation inside the company and demonstrate something more to visitors - that you look outward, not inward.
