Flickr releases a new web upload tool

Well color us surprised, because Flickr just might have become one of the first web properties bought by Yahoo! in recent history to actually receive a major new feature post-purchase. On the Flickr blog, the company has announced a revamp to the photo upload and management tool, bringing a new batch upload UI and batch tagging system to help you finish the chore faster than ever via the web.

In our initial tests, it's safe to say that the tool is a solid update. Batch selection and uploading works well, and you're still able to customize each photo individually, while a batch tagging box sits at the top of the management screen. Of course, we still recommend checking out some of the external uploading tools available for working with Flickr, but this web tool just got a whole lot easier to use in a pinch.
