Flickr tips

Flickr is really great. I joined a couple of weeks ago, but I only got a chance of doing some serious setup with it.

I'm using the following tools:

iPhoto plugin for flicker: really really simple way of uploading you photos directly from iPhoto. It lets you choose the title, tags and even resizes the photo before uploading. The current version (0.7) has a small bug: it strips the EXIF information, so it's not really ready yet, but the author is looking into it;
Flickr Screensaver: really nice, but could be better: I would like to be able to choose to see all my contacts photos instead of my own only. You can choose to see favourites, which is nice;
Keyword Assistant: not really Flickr related, but if you use iPhoto, this will help you tag all your photos and that makes it easy to upload them to Flickr.
Don't forget that you can upload photos via email, and even better, you can also post a photo to your weblog via flickr by email. It's twisted but it works: just setup you blog in Flickr, and add a email address to it.

And now the wishlist: open the Pro Accounts soon, 10Mb upload per month is not enough :)
