Flickr Uploaders for Linux: Secretive, But Not Endangered Beasts
,----[ Quote ]
| Flickr is almost like Xerox, or Kleenex, in that its name is in some ways
| inextricably linked to the service it delivers. There are many other photo
| sharing sites, of course, with similar (or perhaps even superior) features
| and options. Maybe it's because it is one of the first services that's
| managed to grow, add features, and consistently stand out from the others, it
| is often the first service people try, and the one many ultimately choose to
| continue with.

Windows App Alternatives For Linux: MSPaint
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of you might know that I was in the hunt for a decent mspaint
| alternative recently. Note that I didn’t go for GIMP / Inkscape etc because
| they were overkill for what I wanted to do. Many a times, I just wanted to
| touch up a screenshot or make a simple flow image by drawing a few boxes, use
| a few pointing arrows, and add some text here and there. All this could be
| done with the previous mentioned programs as well but took a bit more steps
| than I wanted (stroking the selections / paths for lines, boxes, circles, and
| even then, no arrows). I didn’t find an adequate replacement at the time but
| got it now, so thought of writing about it. Basically I came across 4 apps:
| tuxpaint, gpaint, kolourpaint and mtpaint. Won’t discuss tuxpaint here cuz I
| found it a little too kiddish.

Flickr taps into open source for better maps. Yahoo Maps to follow?

FlickrFS for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Flickrfs is a virtual filesystem which mounts on your linux machine like any
| other partition. Once mounted, it retrieves information about your photos
| hosted on your flickr account, and shows them as files. You can now easily
| copy photos from your local machine to this mount, and it will automatically
| upload them to your flickr account. Similary, you can copy the files from
| your mount to your local machine, and it will download your images from
| flickr.

Flickr upload tool turns 3.0, goes open-source
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source software may be freely modified, copied, and shared; opening
| source code could let programmers modify the Uploadr tool so it works on
| Linux or uploads to other photo-sharing sites, for example.

The Linux way to Flickr
,----[ Quote ]
| Flickr contains more than 15,000 pictures tagged with "Linux." Flickr
| can help introduce Free Software to non-geeks in a fun andn
| on-intimidating way ("See Mom? We're just like everybody else!").
| Many Flickr users have already done just that, showing off their
| FOSS-related talents in many fields.

One of the coolest Flickr applications to date
,----[ Quote ]
| For Linux users, there's an answer in the form of Flickrfs, a virtual
| filesystem which mounts on your Linux machine like any other partition.
| Developed by Manish Rai Jain, Flickrfs is based upon the FUSE kernel module
| and allows you to upload, download and organise your Flickr images as if they
| were local files.
