Flickr Mobile Gets Upgraded
Techtree News Staff, Dec 05, 2008 1409 hrs ISTImproved with additions of innovative features
For those of you who feel blessed because Flickr has a version for mobile phones, there's some good news. The popular photo-sharing (now video-sharing as well) site has improved its mobile version further by improving and adding innovative features.
1. Videos uploaded on the site from December 4, 2008, onwards will be viewable at the Flickr mobile site. However, this feature is currently limited to iPhone and iPod Touch users; Flickr plans to add support for other phones in the near future.
2. Users can now comment on favorite photos through their mobile phone.
3. It has become simpler to add, find, and manage contacts.
4. The activity stream now has more information in it, all synched to the settings users specify on the main Flickr site.
5. Emailing photos from a mobile phone to Flickr is now easier. Users can enter their 'secret Flickr upload email address' in their address book under the name "Flickr," so when there's a picture to be posted, they can simply email it to the site.
6. Additionally, it's now easier to browse for the most interesting photos of the day, or do a search for photos on Flickr.
So, there you are. Now you can do interesting things with photographs (and videos, if you can) on your mobile phone with mobile Flickr!
