Following on the heels of Yahoo! who announced deeper integration with Facebook into their products, Flickr announced this morning that the company has also rolled out their own integrations with Facebook. Now when Facebook users upload photos to Flickr, they can have updates automatically posted to their stream about images that they’ve made visible to “everyone”.
The announcement from Flickr also emphasized that the new integration leveraged the Yahoo! Updates platform which allows developers “to syndicate user-generated actions” that take place on their website across Yahoo’s numerous properties. This is all part of Yahoo’s push to make their sites more “social”, something that Flickr has been ever since the beginning of their service.
If you happen to be a Flickr user, you can get your Facebook and Flickr accounts linked together immediately by visiting this page.

Why only on photos made visable to everyone? Will we be able to link to photos on Flikr but have them set as friends only on FB?

If Yahoo is so concerned with child safety, why have they owned and operated a pornographic website for over five years while pretending it is a family friendly online photo sharing place? We are talking about Flickr, where millions of hardcore images have always beeb shared with children by countless predators and pedophiles, allowed to anonymously stalk and groom kids there. On the surface, Yahoo has been able to create a facade of a safe online environment, masquerading Flickr as something it's not. This never ending game they play allows Flickr to bypass most filters, so it is available in most (and used by many) grade schools, libraries, and of course in the homes of unsuspecting parents. Even our President and congress are there on Flickr as well, with many others. No efforts have ever been made by Yahoo to properly label Flickr for the abundant adult content they always host. So that parents, teachers and librarians are tricked into thinking Flickr is a safe place to let kids hang out online. This has been an extremely purposeful effort by Yahoo to conceal the true nature of their Flickr porn site. It's been done purely for publicity purposes and allows Yahoo to have their cake and eat it too, hosting a family friendly porn site that now contains the largest collection of hardcore smut in the world. No exaggeration there, either. Hands down, there has got to be more nasty adult images on Yahoo's Flickr than all the legitimate porn sites in the world put together now. We are talking billions at this point, and expanding daily. But nobody will ever say anything about it publicly, or call out them on these irrefutable facts. No, people like you will continue to prop them up as some sort of champions of online safety, who are actually concerned with the well being of kids. That is total BS and any journalist should be ashamed not to scream out the truth about Yahoo. They don't give two poops about your kids. All they want is your money, and that of the sleazy corporate advertisers willing to put their company names as proud sponsors of that Yahoo owned pornfest for kids and perverts alike, known as Flickr.

Lame. We've been able to do this for years by adding the RSS feed to Facebook. It should update the Facebook albums.

Now if only there was an easy way to import photos/albums previously uploaded on Flickr to Facebook. :/

I found this quick and easy service to create a dynamic photo gallery at Facebook – http://www.albolio.com. It's free to use, loads up all your Flickr pictures, and I love it.
