Flickr’s page on mobile tools is pretty cool (link below). They have a bunch of ways folks can upload to Flickr. But, you knew that, so I want to point out some other interesting things about Flickr Mobile.
It looks like they updated the Flickr Mobile site. Cool, if I could get to it. I am only allowed to access it via a Yahoo! ID and I still use my old Flickr ID. If I start using my Yahoo! ID, won’t my Flickr sign-in info go away for good? Sigh. I had no problem switching my Writely username and password to my Google account – I use other Google services. But, I so don’t want to use my Yahoo! ID for Flickr. I do not use any other Yahoo! services. And I guess I don’t want to be associated with Yahoo!.
Hmm. Caught between a rock and hard place.
Enough windgeing (and I won’t start on the separate Atom username and password for Flickr). There is one other cool thing: a graph showing phones that are posting to Flickr (no scales, though). Oh, and you can click on the phone name on the graph and see photos taken by that phone model.
What’s that? They show the phone specs. Oh, and that to the upper right: ‘No price available’ and ‘Yahoo! member reviews’? Do I see some blatant hucksterism soiling my Flickr love (the reviews, of course take you deeper into it all)? Has Flickr finally jumped the shark? Am I being too sensitive? And me, from a phone company?
Sorry, it’s just that Yahoo! doesn’t really appeal to me. But that’s a whine for another day.
