Finally, a Flickr iPhone App + Apps and More Apps!

The new Flickr app is available here from the iTunes store! No more uploading photos to Flickr via Email from your iPhone! Now Flickr has their own app (from Yahoo actually) making everything seamless and snappy with a Flickr coherent interface.

Here’s what Techcrunch had to say about the GUI:

The main screen is a fairly mesmerizing slideshow of photos from your contacts on Flickr. There is an upload button that is easily accessible right on the main page, and the upload process is nice and easy. You can obviously name your picture and give it a description, but you can also easily manage what set to put it in, and what tags to give it. And the privacy settings are very clearly displayed on the upload page.

Looking for more apps? A review of the 50 most essential iPhone apps this season can be found here.

College students stumble on to set of Lost, make themselves at home


Lost fans stumble-upon un-guarded set

What do you do if you’re a huge fan of television’s Lost and happen to stumble-upon an un-guarded film set while on holiday in Hawaii? You make yourself at home naturally! A few college students did just that while enjoying some sun in the vicinity where Lost shoots in Hawaii. While exploring some pristine beaches, they stumbled upon a completely empty Lost set, which appears to give some spoiling insight into some upcoming episodes. The students found tents, a cage (?), racks of Dharma branded food, cans and toilet paper (which I hope they ‘borrowed’), among many other things. Thankfully (?), they documented their trespassing and are sharing the complete photo set on Flickr for us land-locked Lost fans to enjoy.
