[Developers] Built With Freebase: Creative Commons Car Pictures

[Jack Alves]

This is great. I would definitely use the site to find cc car photos.
Looking forward to seeing this model for everything. Finding cc photos is
really timeconsuming using other tools.

As the data set  grows you should consider adding the freebase suggest
(autocomplete) service for searching.

thanks for making this.
