Flickr2Facebook

November 1st, 2008

I love my Flickr account. If my house burns down, my daughter’s photos are not my first-concern-after-people, because any photo I’ve deemed good enough to print has been uploaded to Flickr (and to Shutterfly), and I can always get them back. There’s a million good reasons to use Flickr, but that’s my main one.

I also like Facebook — it’s a nice portal to all of the various strands of my life, where I can connect the past and present, and list all of my various projects, as well. It’s a little bit of Twitter, a little bit of MySpace, a little bit of Flickr, and a little bit of Classmates.com. (Remmber them?)

As someone who already uploads photos to two different sites, I don’t want to upload them to Facebook, too, since I figure people should be able to click on my Flickr link in my account, right? But not everyone does, and that doesn’t work with tagging. Enter Flickr2Facebook. It’s a simple app, and only requires a little bookmarklet in your favorites to work. Now I can copy photos from Flickr over to my Facebook albums with great ease. It’s now my favorite Facebook utility app, and you should check it out, too.
