Flickr – The Solution to Your Photo Storage Issues. Having a camera on your phone means you can take plenty of pictures anytime, anywhere for free. Those special moments can be easily preserved for prosperity, but there are some downsides to cell phone pictures. First, the space on your phone can be consumed by your photos so you run out of space for other things, such as apps, music and other data. Second, your photos are vulnerable to the perils of being on a phone: becoming lost or damaged. Flickr solves both of these issues, giving you an opportunity to move photos off of your phone and giving you an easy way to back up your photos, keeping them safe from calamities that may happen to your phone.
Phones can fill up fast which leaves people with the terrible choice of which pictures to keep. The recent iOS 7 update had many people scurrying to make room on their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as iOS 7 resides in a voluminous 3 GB of space on your device. “Please don’t delete me!” Flickr to the Rescue! How to Get Started Flickr Apps Privacy. OK, new Flickr, you got me. I’m back. I knew something good was happening when I saw the rectangles. This week I did something that I hadn’t done for five months and 12 days: I went to Flickr on my laptop, accessed some photos on my hard drive, uploaded them, named them, tagged them, and organized them in a set. The magic of the Internet happened before my eyes, and they joined the other rectangular images on the venerable photo-sharing site.
And finally, for the first time in almost half a year, I had something beside square pics on my Flickr photostream.

Yahoo announced its massive revamp of the Flickr service with three missing Es, calling the updated site Biggr, Spectaculr, and Wherevr. Since I was just wondering about reupping my Pro account, the first is really significant. But the best and most important is the incredible new look. Good luck. I’m sold. I agree. Flickr improves editing suite with Aviary partnership. Flickr has improved its editing suite after partnering with Aviary. Written in HTML5, Aviary’s editor also makes it possible for Flickr users to touch up and improve their photos on their Apple iPad, something that wasn’t possible previously.
Flickr promises the update - being rolled out now - will speed up the time it takes to edit a photo online as well as how quickly it takes to initially upload your pics. For anyone unfamiliar with Aviary editor, think GCSE rather than A-Level. Not so much in terms of results, rather more in terms of ease of use. The update will occur automatically in your Flickr "Actions" menu, though Flickr concedes that it will take up to two weeks for all of its users to have received it. All in time for your summer holiday snaps. Have you received your Flickr update? Flickr disables Pinterest pins on all copyrighted images (exclusive) As the third most popular source of content on digital pin-board site Pinterest, Flickr and its photographers are subject to frequent acts of copyright infringement. But a site-wide update to Flickr promises to better protect members and their copyrighted works.
The Yahoo-owned photo-sharing site has just added Pinterest’s newly introduced do-not-pin code to Flickr pages with copyrighted or protected images. “Flickr has implemented the tag and it appears on all non-public/non-safe pages, as well as when a member has disabled sharing of their Flickr content,” a Flickr representative confirmed to VentureBeat Friday. “This means only content that is ‘safe,’ ‘public’ and has the sharing button enabled can be pinned to Pinterest.” Pinterest, as a refresher, is the digital pin-board site that encourages members to “pin,” via bookmarklet, the products, recipes, clothes, photos, and other items they love to collections called boards. Flickr Gets a Makeover, Looks Like Pinterest. Flickr will be rolling out a number of changes in the coming months, beginning with a new photo stream design, Justified View, and a new uploading feature, Uploadr. Markus Spiering, Flickr head of product, discussed these changes with Mashable Tuesday.
The company's main focus, he says: user engagement. Justified View, which will go live Feb 28, trades Flickr's current white space-filled layout for something that looks a lot more like Pinterest (as has become the trend in web design). The new photo stream will first go live with your contacts (the people you follow). It showcases bigger photos and lacks text data. The new upload feature dubbed Uploadr, which will go live in late March, lets you drag and drop photos from your computer onto the site.

The Importance of Flickr In Your Marketing Mix. When I talk Social Media with people, clients and potential clients the focus is really placed on Facebook. I absolutely love the power of Facebook, because of the huge number of people that are engaged in sharing amazing content on a daily basis. I am lucky to have an amazing group of people sharing amazing information on a regular basis. Facebook is HUGE, but we can’t get lost in its power and do ourselves a disservice to our entire social media presence.
Think about some of the things that are shared on Facebook. We see news stories, video and pictures. Yes, lots and lots of pictures because people LOVE pictures. This is primarily because as humans we are visual and we love things that provide visual stimulation. Flickr offers a few wonderful things: The importance of images are often overlooked when we think about Social Media but think about how many times we search for images then you will realize how important Flickr and photo sharing sites are.

Yahoo's Flickr is about to punish the popular photo-sharing iPhone app Instagram for not releasing an Android version yet. Flickr launched its Android app Wednesday — complete with Instagram-like filters. The new Android app brings the Flickr photo stream to Google's mobile OS. The company has included a new activity stream for viewing photos — one that's essentially a newsfeed of activity among your Flickr friends. You can browse photo albums or check out the albums of friends. "A photo is more than just a few pixels," Flickr Product Manager Markus Spiering said at a press event at Flickr's headquarters in San Francisco.
Viewing an image on Flickr's Android app is a different experience compared to its iPhone app. The core feature of the app, of course, is photo-taking. The photo filters feature is almost identical to that of Instagram. The filters are Android-only for now, but we doubt it will be long until they make their way to Flickr's iPhone app. #Flickr, #GeoFences and your #Privacy: Pay attention.
