Here at Download Squad, we're always on the lookout for cool little mobile apps that are both fun to use and useful. Sometimes that involves tickling our creative side and that's where Instagram comes in. Instagram, like many other apps available on the iPhone, allows you to take an image and apply effect filters to it. Some like 'Lord Kelvin" age your photo, others such as "Inkwell" desaturate ...

If you use Google Chrome and love to fritter away your downtime browsing sites like Flickr and DeviantArt -- or even Google's image search -- Hover Zoom is an extension you simply must install. It does exactly what you'd guess it would from the name: park your mouse above a thumbnail, and an enlarged version quickly appears. There's nothing to configure -- if you're browsing a supported site ...

There's a new redesign afoot over at Flickr, and it's a big one! It's not actually implemented quite yet, but you can opt-in to activate it for your account, which would let you use the new design when viewing Flickr photo pages. Other people would still see your account as normal if they haven't opted-in yet -- at least until Flickr makes it the new default design, at which point it will be "the ...

When Yahoo! released its new Yahoo! Pulse profile pages and took Facebook integration to the extreme, you might have thought "This is great for my news feed, but what about photos?" No worries, my photo-loving chum! Yahoo!'s Flickr photosharing service basically got married to Facebook a few days ago, so your days of having to upload albums to both sites are through! Your public Flickr photos ...

Flickr Image Search does exactly what you might think -- mostly because it's a very early beta version and doesn't actually do anything other than search Flickr. Install the Chrome extension, click the Flickr icon, search... and voilà! Quick and easy thumbnails. Click a thumbnail and the Flickr page opens in a new tab; neat! It's certainly not without issues -- for some reason it ...

Despite its despotic, glaring omission of vowels, you can probably guess what Bulkr does. That's the power of brand recognition, eh! If you can't work it out, here's a clue: bulk + flickr = ... Specifically, Bulkr does two things -- and it does them well. First, you can download your entire Flickr stream -- either as one big stream of images, or broken into directories for each of your Sets. ...

Flogr is a free PHP script which lets you easily deploy a full-featured gallery on your own site, which pulls all of its data from your Flickr profile. As you can see on the demo site, it pulls all information on any given photo. EXIF details, comments, tags, license information -- everything. You can think of it as an alternative Flickr interface, on your own site. The photo information is ...

by treehouse1977 When writing a post without a specific screenshot, a blogger (such as myself) needs to come up with an appropriate image. That image must be licensed for use -- you can't just take any old image. What I usually do is go to Flickr and search for Creative Commons licensed images, with a "commercial okay" provision. I then upload the image and tag it manually, because you still ...

We're thoroughly impressed with the latest preview of IE9, even if we've only been playing with it for an hour or two! Because some people might not be able to install it in their current environment, I've demonstrated the three new speed tests that Microsoft has included with the new build. I've even included a little, easily-excitable commentary. If you've had a chance to play with the ...

Flickr is one of those websites that are so chock-full of stuff (whether it is features or just images), I almost always find something cool when I go prowling around in it. And the other day I found out about something which many of you may know, but was certainly new for me: Flickr's Camera Finder. When you take a photo, the camera includes its own make and model, as well as a whole bunch of ...

Whether you're a professional looking for an easy way to move paper documents from your desktop to web apps like Google Docs, or you just have a large collection of photographs you'd like to post to Flickr, Doxie's new scanner might be the device you've been waiting for. Apart from being small enough to tuck in your laptop bag, Doxie's bundled software provides simple and uploading to loads of ...

Whether you're looking for backgrounds for your desktop, Creative Commons licensed photos, or just scanning eyecandy, Flickr is an excellent place to find beautiful digital images. Need a simple way to download multiple images? Check out Downloadr (screencast after the break!), a free program with loads of options which makes short work of bulk downloading from Flickr. Downloadr is packed ...

Google Chrome's default new tab page is already good -- and honestly, I seldom find myself clicking anywhere other than my bookmark toolbar when I add a tab. So while I might not need to change the new tab page, the Incredible Start Page extension certainly has me hooked regardless. Install it, and your new tab page displays a sleek, three-paneled view which includes recently closed tabs, your ...

I'm a big fan of iPhone photo apps, because the built-in Camera and Photos applications certainly don't handle every photo-related task you might want to do with your phone. You can email photos from the Photos app, for example, but you can't upload them anywhere. Various photo sites have their own uploader apps, but what if you use more than one site? Orli Yakuel at GO2WEB20 just posted about ...

Pop quiz: what's the largest photo site on the web? Flickr? Photobucket? Picasa? Nope, it's Facebook. Like me, you might find that fact a bit surprising, since we don't immediately think of Facebook as a photo sharing site -- that's just one of its features. What's even more interesting when thinking about Facebook as a photo sharing site is that it has a built-in permission system that says ...
