Photo2RSS Helps Stream Photos

Want to be able to keep up to date on all of your friend’s pictures. Thanks to Aditya Mukherjee you can now subscribe via RSS to and of your friend’s picture albums. For developers, you can subscribe to a JSON feed that you can easily tie into scripts. So what is the point of feeding your friend’s pictures into your RSS reader? That’s a really good question and I don’t have a really good answer. As a blogger I have enough content that I need to read. Conversely, seeing the occasional picture of my friend as I scroll through my feed reader would be a nice surprise. Let me know if you think there is any additional benefit to using this application. I love covering applications but I don’t want to provide you with useless ones. Post a comment and let us know if this is a useful or useless application. In the meantime, if you’d like to check out the functionality, go grab the Photo2RSS application. As of my writing this there were only 3 subscribers. Perhaps I should take that as a sign.

Flickr2Facebook: Add Flickr Photos With Ease

If you’re like me and you’ve already put hundreds of photos on Flickr then you’re probably looking at the Facebook photo album and despairing. Sure, the Facebook album can do some great stuff (like appearing in other people’s mini feeds when you tag it with their name) but it’s just so inconvenient to move it all over to Facebook.

Well, now it’s a little easier to get around. I’ve found two great little apps to cheer you up. Nick already told you about the first one, the My Flicker App. Get it. You will love it.

The second is a nifty little javascript booklet to take Flickr photos and put them straight into your facebook album. It’s called Flickr2Facebook and is simple to set up and easy to use. So, at least you can easily transfer the best of your photos for easy access on Facebook. Now you can play with all the fun facebook album toys like Slideshow!

Unofficial Flickr Application Launches

While Flickr hasn’t launched an official application yet, Kaleb Fulgham, from the University of Houston decided to take it upon himself to make a simple Flickr application called “My Flickr”. My Flickr allows one to display their photos according to certain criteria such as: recent photos, tags, interesting, and more. Frank Gruber who already added the application to his profile reported some minor bugs but said it provided an overall decent experience. I’m sure that this is only one of a few Flickr applications that launch prior to the official Flickr application, but it is a great start. If you are an avid Flickr user then you might as well grab the My Flickr application and add it to your profile!
