+Flickr is great site for sharing photos with your friends and family, but you can do a lot more than just share your vacation photos. Here's our guide to getting more out Flickr.
+
+Getting Your Images On Flickr
+
+Flickr provides a web-based uploading tool, but if you're going to put up more than a couple dozen images, you'll want something more robust. Fortunately Flickr has one of the best APIs on the web, which means there's a ton of uploading tools.
+
+Cross platform options include Flickr's own tools, as well as a host of outside offerings like "jUploadr"<http://juploadr.org/>.
+
+For Mac users there are plugins for Apple's photo management tool, both "iPhoto and Aperture"<http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/>. There's also stand-alone apps like "1001"<http://1001.kung-foo.tv/>.
+
+Windows fans can use "Flickr Sync"<http://flickrsync.freehostia.com/> which can create Flickr Sets from your desktop, making it easy to stay organized. Other options include "PicMe"<http://picme.raizlabs.com/>. Windows users can also annotate photos in "Fototagger"<http://www.fototagger.com/> and then upload to Flickr where your annotations will be converted to Flickr notes.
+
+Linux has a number of options as well. For Gnome fans there's very slick "Desktop Flickr Organizer"<http://code.google.com/p/dfo/>, "Flickr Uploader"<http://micampe.it/projects/flickruploadr> is written in Python and will run in any window manager.
+
+Those not enamored with desktop apps should have a look at the "Firefox Universal Uploader"<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4724> plug-in which creates a two-pane window in your browser and allows you to easily move files from your hard drive to any of the four supported photo sites.
+
+Don't think you're limited to the PC when it comes to Flickr though, you can easily send photos straight from your camera-phone. Just fill in your e-mail address "here"<http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/>. Use your phone to send photos from that address and they'll show up in your Flickrstream (note you may incur charges from your service provider depending on your plan).
+
+The e-mail option also opens up an interesting hack that will let you use Google's free Picasa application to send your photos to Flickr via GMail. As of version 2.0 you e-mail directly from Picasa which will even automatically resize your photos before sending them. Just use the aforementioned e-mail address and send via GMail.
+
+All these options let you add title, descriptions, tags and in some cases even Geo data, all from the comfort of your desktop or phone.
+
+
+#############
+
+Once your photos are in Flickr there's myriad of ways to show them off. Grab one of the handy widgets for your blog, MySpace, Facebook and more. 
+
+But Flickr isn't limited to the web. You can print your images or "create business cards"<http://www.moo.com/flickr> from your photos, create "hardbound books"<http://www.blurb.com/partner/flickr/>, make t-shirts, "calendars"<http://www.qoop.com/photobooks/flickr_user>, buttons, bumber sticker, business cards, ties, you name it. "Zazzle"<http://www.zazzle.com/pn/flickr/home> can put your images on just about any surface your heart desires.
+
+#############
+
+Have fun.
+
+Flickr's API has allowed people to create all sort of crazy useful and interesting tools, here's a few of our favorites:
+
+"Flickr Set Manager"<http://www.dopiaza.org/flickr/setmgr/index.php> - This handy web-based tool allows you to create "smart" Flickr sets using a wide variety of critieria, very similar to smart playlists in iTunes.
+
+Define your sets based on interestingness, date posted and tags, or even generate a completely random set images. There's even an option to automatically regenerate your set once a day
+
+"Flickr Colr Pickr"<http://www.krazydad.com/colrpickr/> - Another web-based tool that lets you browse Flickr images by color. A great way to explore the site.
+
+"Islands of Consciousness"<http://incubator.quasimondo.com/flash/islands_of_consciousness.php> - A collaberation between Mario Klingemann Oleg Marakov, Islands of Consciousness in an improve film created while you watch by pulling in Flickr images and setting them to Marakov's MP3 samples. A hypnotic way to waste those dull friday afternoons.
