Library of Congress Flickr feed
Wednesday, January 16, 2008 by Dave Winer.
Wow, this is really really coooooool. 
The Library of Congress is partnering with Flickr, releasing pictures that it believes are not copyrighted, through Flickr.
One of the fantastic side-effects of that is that there's an RSS 2.0 feed of those pictures that connects perfectly to FlickrFan.
If you click on this link on the machine that FlickrFan is running on, you'll automatically subcribe to the Library of Congress feed on Flickr.
This is one of those moments when the standards are working, really well. 
PS: If for some reason it doesn't work, try clicking on this link to get the latest update (v0.42), then click on the link above again.
