I used to think that having disposable cameras at each table at a wedding reception was such a fabulously brilliant idea.
But now the quality of the disposable film cameras is too shoddy for any possible framers, plus the kind of people who are going to take photos will have already brought their own cameras. To further drive a stake in the heart of this old trend, last year the majority of you voted that you no longer loved it.

Imagine if it wasn't necessary to click a link to view a photo album or YouTube video? Now if you go into your Gmail Labs under Settings and enable YouTube videos (you can watch the entire clip right from your inbox), Flickr and Picasa preview, and Yelp review preview, you can see everything inside your mail window. Yes, Gmail will automatically detect links from various sites and show you previews right from your email message.

What was once restricted to Flickr Pro users, has now been extended to all Flickr members — uploading video content!
What Pro members will be able to do though, is upload high-definition videos and still have unlimited uploads for videos 90 seconds or less.
For all of you who already use Flickr as your main online photo management site, this will make sharing much easier since everything will be in one spot!

The next time you're oohing and aahing over the photographs in someone's flickr stream, stalk their camera!
Did you know that flickr can tell you the kind of camera the user shot their posted photos with?
On anyone's flickr photo page, you'll see the Additional Information column on the right side.

For everyone who uploads pics to Flickr, have I got a cool new way to view your pics. Just take your Flickr user name (flickr.com/photos/yourname) and enter it in this URL — ihardlyknowher.com/yourname. What I Hardly Know Her will do is make all of your photos viewable on a blank white web page.

I'm all about blogging as my day job, but since I started my OnSugar blog, I've been blogging on my off-hours as well. If you have your own, you may know there are tons of ways to pimp out your blog, one of which is to embed a Flickr slideshow courtesy of Flickr Slidr.
All you have to do to create slideshow magic is to choose a set from your Flickr favorites, paste the link in Flickr Slidr, and before you can say "boo-yah," you have your embed code to paste anywhere you can insert html (your Facebook profile, perhaps?).

Sure, following Tweets secretly through your RSS allows a special, stalkerish pleasure, but watching your friend's Internet activity doesn't have to be all about surreptitiousness. When a pal shares a link to her Flickr account or I run across a photographer whose work I find inspiring I stick it in my RSS reader so I can keep up with their activity.
Flickr offers an RSS feed for photostream pages, which you select and add to your reader.
