A Triple of new Features on Flickr November 26, 2006
Posted by technologydriven in flickr.add a comment
The popular photo-sharing site flickr announced three very nice new features some days ago:
- “Guest Pass” allows friends and family to view private photos without the need to create their own flickr-account, which was one of the most requested features of all time
- “m.flickr.com“, flickr’s mobile site, has become some new features, but requires a Yahoo-based login now
- The “Camera Finder” gives you the possibility to investigate what the most popular camera-models are, have a look on photos taken with a given camera and so on. Thus you get some very good decision help if you want to buy a new camera yourself.

Geocoding in flickr August 29, 2006
Posted by technologydriven in Web2.0, flickr.4 comments
Flickr added a fancy new feature to their service: it is now possible to geocode photos within flickr, just by dragging and dropping them onto a map within the organizer. The map is – certainly – provided by flickr’s parent company Yahoo. Geocodes are added to the photos automatically, and the name of the corresponding place is also found automatically.
Thus, it is now also possible to browse flickr-photos with a map-interface.
