Flickr is, in my humble opinion, one of the very best photo websites on the net. Not only does it have a free version, but the Pro version is a mere $25 per year and allows for unlimited uploads. It’s terrific for archiving all your photos. With the backing of Yahoo, you know it’s going to be around for a long time.
As good as their website is (excellent), it’s still slow and awkward to upload your many, many photos through web pages. I don’t know about you, but the idea of uploading hundreds of photos from a trip that way makes me hurt in places I didn’t know existed.
That’s why Flickr offers their own standalone upload application named Uploadr, just updated to 3.0. The real stength in the new version is drag and drop upload reordering. That makes it easy to know what order those photos will appear on the site. It’s just a shame they didn’t fix that bug of the missing “e” in the name.
The only new features seem to be reordering and remembering what you've entered (in case you quit and come back in w/o uploading.)
However, this looks like a complete rewrite. The previous uploader was native Cocoa and this one is written using XUL. What this means is that the code is completely cross platform. This is great new for Mac users because the Mac and Windows uploaders will remain in sync and identical.
Unfortunately, I only noticed this because it crashes and I noticed XUL in the stack track trace ;)
works terribly - still an alpha never mind beta.. i'm back to the 2.x
