Move Photos from Flickr to Spaces and More

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Mar 8th @ 10:43 AM

Nitrodesk Photographer's Edition is a WPF application that lets you connect to and manage your photos and photo albums across several different photo sharing services. With Nitrodesk, you can pick any online album and manage it in real-time - updating the album or photo properties, viewing and managing the comments, transferring the photos between services and much more. The app also allows you to backup your photos from an online photo-sharing website to your PC.

This program is great, especially if you want to move photos from one site to another, but don't have them all on your PC to re-upload. How convenient!! The software currently supports the following services: Google (Picasa Web Albums), Flickr, Facebook, ShutterPoint, SmugMug, and Windows Live Spaces.

You can download the beta version of the program here.

Love flickr? Not only can you upload to flickr using Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can also add flickr to the right-click "Send to" menu in Windows. From Adamant Solutions comes an app called "Send to flickr," which lets you easily upload photos to flickr from Windows Explorer. The app adds "flickr" to the "Send to" list in Windows, lets you preview files while they are being uploaded, and supports uploading multiple files at once, all without need of a web browser. The best part? The software is 100% free.

Social Network Screensaver

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Jan 28th @ 10:10 PM
A new product called Chirpscreen is a screensaver that displays information from your social networks. Having just launched into beta, the screensaver currently shows content from Facebook and flickr, but plans to offer much more in the future. The Facebook content includes status updates from your friends and the flickr content can be your photos or photos from the network that match a particular tag. The application works by collecting the information from 3rd party sources via its APIs or RSS feeds to display a screensaver of your personalized content. With the screensaver active, pictures and updates from your friends float slowly across your screen. Each piece of content the screensaver shows is linked, so you can click it to open up a web browser that goes directly to that page. Chirpscreen is currently available for Windows only.

Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live agora com publicação para Flickr

Posted By: Galileu Vieira | Oct 18th, 2007 @ 12:58 PM
Muitos usuários pediram e a equipe da Microsoft responsável pelo programa de edição e organização de fotos respondeu. A ferramenta que fará parte da suíte completa de serviços Windows Live, chamada Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live, virá com integração com o Flickr. Isso mesmo, você poderá publicar suas fotos ao Flickr ou ao Windows Live Spaces direto do programa sem ter que entrar na Web. Detalhe importante, os metadatos e as Tags, ou Marcas, serão retidos ao fazer a publicação para o Flickr.

Uma atualização automática via Windows Update trará as novas funcionalidades na forma de versão Beta 2.2 dos serviços Windows Live. Quem não tiver a suite e quiser instalá-la é só ir ao http://get.live.com para baixar qualquer um dos produtos. No Brasil, isso inclui o Windows Live Messenger, o Windows Live Mail, o Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live, o Windows Live Writer, a Toolbar e o Family Safety. Lembramos que esses produtos ainda estão em Beta, portanto o desempenho e a estabilidade não é igual a de um produto final. A suite de ferramentas está disponível tanto para o Windows Vista como para o Windows XP com Service Pack 2.

Windows Live Photo Gallery includes Flickr!

Posted By: Larry Larsen | Oct 18th, 2007 @ 12:32 PM
Every so often something hits at Microsoft that is so cool you find your inbox filling up about it late into the night as we all start playing with it. It happened this week with the integration of Flickr into Windows Live Photo Gallery. With the latest version, available now on Microsoft Update, uploading your photos to Flickr is as easy as clicking the publish button or just right clicking on your photos. The best part; all the tagging you've done in Vista carries through to Flickr so there is no need to have to re-tag your photos!

Stay tuned as later this week you'll see how easy it is to include these Flickr photos on your site using the drag and drop development tool PopFly.

To get this new version of Photo Gallery, click over to http://get.live.com and get Beta 2 of Windows Live Photo Gallery, and then to http://update.microsoft.com to get the latest version.  Check out the press release here, the Windows Live Photo Gallery blog here, and the Flickr blog here. And don't forget to check out Jeff Sandquist's post about it.

Vista desktop backgrounds from Flickr users and MS employees

Posted By: JD Lewin | Jan 30th, 2007 @ 2:01 PM
One of the most entertaining parts of setting up your new Vista install is walking through the new desktop backgrounds that are included. The Microsoft Design team has done something truly excellent, by including photographs from Microsoft employees and Flickr users such as Hamad Darwish. Read more about the process from Long Zhen's Finding vistas, and also check out Scoble's interview with Jenny Lam from this past July.

eStarling (wi-fi enabled LCD picture frame) now available for pre-order

Posted By: Duncan Mackenzie | Nov 16th, 2006 @ 2:51 PM
I've been wanting to buy a LCD picture frame for quite a while, but to be blunt... they've all sucked in various ways. I don't want to have to take it off the wall to hook up a USB cable to my PC... I don't want to have to fill up a SD card and refresh it every once in a while ... and I really don't want to pay a monthly fee to download photos from some online service. What I really want is to just upload my photos to Flickr like I already do... tag them appropriately and have them just show up in the picture frame.

Enter the eStarling, a RSS/wi-fi/email enabled picture frame that has mostly been rumour for the past year or so... the Think Geek page has been showing them as unavailable (even for pre-order) for months and months. But they are available now, pre-order quick before they shut it down! Of course, at $250 ... it isn't quite an impulse buy, but this is definitely the picture frame that geeks have been wanting for awhile.

Two cool Vista demos available, one for Flickr and one for Netflix

Posted By: Duncan Mackenzie | Oct 24th, 2006 @ 3:42 PM

Check them out at http://www.thirteen23.com/work.html

There are two applications, one that works with Flickr (called Nostalagia) and one that accesses Netflix (Cine.View).

I'm using them on a RC 1 machine, not sure what other builds they'll work on.
