Everyone knows Flickr, the wonderful Yahoo! company that enables photo sharing.  I am currently on a hunt for software that will run a linux screensaver that pulls photos from Flickr based on tags and/or usernames.  This is for another project, but I will save that for later.  During my hunt I found a few interesting tools that interact with Flickr, so I thought I would share them.

• Flickr Official Tools - These include the XP Explorer Wizard and Uploadr tool.
• FlickrLilli - Allows you to search Flickr photos based on tags and Creative Commons licensing.
• Grabbr - Useful for capturing screen shots of windows or desktop and uploading to Flickr.
• Slickr - Screensaver for Windows to show images from tags or users.
• FlickrDown - Useful for mass-downloading of photos.  Useful for backing up, or for grabbing original photos from friends.
• FlickrBackup - Haven’t tried this one, but sounds good.  Java tool to download photos to your hard drive.
