Hello from Flickr!

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken about Flickr. Back then, it was widely considered to be a “social software” app like Friendster. Since then, Flickr has changed focus and improved greatly. It is now mostly a photo-management application, with social software elements. It’s still a flat out incredible interface with in-place photo editing and slideshows (even across other people’s photos). For example, check out this slideshow of Squared Circles.

Plus, all the cool kids are going crazy about it, so it’s gotta be good.

So in the grand tradition of jumping on the bandwagon, I have added Flickr support to my Nokia Image Uploader. In fact, this post you’re reading right now started as a photo I took with my phone, uploaded to Flickr, and then posted to mylesgrant.com through Flickr. The code is tested and works. I just have to do a release and put it on SourceForge.

I’ve been considering using Flickr in place of or in addition to my gallery installation. If it’s good enough for Myles Grant, then I suppose it is good enough for me.

I don’t know how good Flickr is if you want to keep total control of your photos on your website. But you can always link to them or use the api.

not to sound like a pest, but when will you be releasing this code? i have a flickr acount and a nokia 3650, but no way to get the images on my 3650 to flickr, (or my computer really, sending 40 individual images via bluetooth is not fun.).

so cheers to you for undertaking the project!

Neil: I’ve mostly just been using it myself and waiting for someone else to bug me for it ;-)
There’s a few things that I want to change about it, and then I’ll do a release. I’ll email you when I do.

thanks times a bajjillion Myles.

After trying a few other services, all with negative results, this will be a godsend.

Now don’t go crazy yet, Neil. You haven’t tried to use it yet ;-).

Not to be a nag, but are you going to release this? If not, could you email me a copy of the source as is?

Thanks.
