Standalone Flickr app, flickery, enters public beta phase

If you're a Flickr user as well as a Mac user, there are already plenty of ways to interact with the site, ranging from good old Safari to the Flickr Uploader application. If you're looking for a standalone application that does more than just upload pictures, there are a few options for that as well. Mac OS X Flickr clients like Photonic and 1001 have been around for a while, but Flickr users are getting another client option as well.

Updated: Getty Images To Resell Photos From Hand-Selected Flickr Users

imageIn a way, Flickr is kind of the unofficial stock photo service of new media, so this makes sense… the Yahoo-owned photo site now has a deal with stock photo giant Getty that will see some Flickr users have their photos resold through the company. Exact details of how it will work financially weren’t announced, but basically Getty will hand select certain Flickr users, inviting them to be part of a special collection at GettyImages.com. Those pictures will then be available for editorial or paid licensing opportunities.

Flickr Video

Now the popular photo sharing site allows you to upload video clips One feature that many folks have asked for from Flickr, the popular photos sharing site, is the ability to upload short video clips along with still images. Just about any digital camera produced today allows you to also take short video clips. Flickr now allows you to upload 90 second or less clips and share them on your Flickr photostream. The idea is that with a limit of 90 seconds it is just long enough to post a clip of your child's birthday song, or a students science experiment, but not too long. The limit is set to encourage the uploading of user generated content and not the republication of exisiting video content. As with your Flickr photos, visitors can comment and link to the video, just as they can with still images.
