Flickroom: Desktop browser for Flickr
The program lets you login to your Flickr account and view photos in your own photostream or those of your contacts or groups. You can also use the search feature to find images from all Flickr users, upload your own images, save images from Flickr, add comments, notes, or share images via Twitter.
I have to say, I'm not that impressed with Flickroom's tools for discovering photos from users that aren't your contacts. I find the Flickr web interface much easier to navigate for that activity. But Flickroom has an attractive user interface and handy tools for keeping up to date with your contacts' activities.
Flickroom also has a few odd features like an integrated chatroom where you can communicate with other Flickroom users. But since the program is still in beta, I suppose any chance to leave feedback for the developer and other users is a good thing.

I do like it's dark look.
But how is "without opening a web browser" an advantage? With the app above, you not only have to open this app, but you have to go get another one (AIR) which most of us have no use for.
A browser is just one app, especially lightweight browsers like Chrome (or FF stripped of add-ons).
"Desktop clients" that continuously interact with the web *almost* fit the definition of "browser," except their limited to just one website.

Pardon my misuse of "it's" and "their" above. I usually proofread better than that. Ugh.

A bit of competition for Cooliris, but without the convenience of being and add-on for your browser?

This one does a lot more than Cooliris, and it doesn't necessarily mean it is a drawback to not be a browser add-on....

First impression is rather impressive, unless there are any gotchas then I will use this. I like the fact that it lets you upload photos too.
Need to use it more to find out how well it really works, but I like the way it displays the photos and it will be a nice complement to the Flickr site itself.
