Embeddable Extraordinaries Images

The Extraordinaries have finished putting together an embeddable Haiti image grid. This allows it to be used all over the web and extends their reach significantly (see it in action on http://haiti.ushahidi.com).

You can access it via the URL:

http://app.beextra.org/appflickr/embed/collectionid/haiti/missionid/605/count/12/title/1/bg/white

• count - number of photos you want to display in the grid

• bg – optional parameter to change background color {black, white, gray, etc}

The Extraordinaries team has put together a system whereby news/media images can be tagged by ordinary people so they can be more easily matched against the Missing Persons Index. They are working with the http://www.haitianquake.com team to coordinate a joint approach (thank God!).
