A decade ago, no one probably thought that cloud computing and social network applications would dominate our lives in such a short span of time. Though with so many such services and products at your disposal from the likes of Dropbox, Google, Facebook, Microsoft and many more, it can become quite difficult to keep a track of all of them in their separate apps. Thankfully, we've seen several apps for many platforms that let you manage them all from one interface, and CloudKafe is the latest to join that club. This web app allows to access, manage and share your content from many major cloud, social networking and image sharing sites and applications from a single window with ease. Read More

In addition to all the fancy photo effects and social sharing options offered by Instagram, the world's most popular mobile photo app is also a huge repository of images. Everyone who has been using the service for a while is sure to have a decent collection of photos in their Instagram account. Most of the times, a picture that has been shared from Instagram remains there and we don’t give much thought to re-sharing it on other services. Recygram is an iOS app with the potential to change all that, by letting its users share photos from Instagram to Tumblr and Flickr in bulk. It is also possible to download these images to your device, or compress them into a ZIP file and send the archive to others via email. Read More

Instagram is amongst the most popular mobile photo-sharing services in the world today. Its popularity comes from the strong social network behind it – used by big-name celebrities and industry thought-leaders – and the lovely set of filters that can make even the most terribly composed photos look “artistic” in a way – whether it’s a Lo-fi’d photo of the boiled vegetables you’re about to eat, or a Willow’d capture of your feet at the local beach.

Yahoo! seems to be taking a lot of interest in iOS these days. Just yesterday, the official Yahoo! Mail client for iPhone got a complete refresh, and today Yahoo’s Flickr app has received a major update. You can now browse through and post in Flickr groups right from your iPhone, while the app’s interface has been revamped as well. One feature that seems to be rearing its head in every other iOS app lately is photo filters. Twitter added effects to their app yesterday, while Instagram came up with a new filter too. So, no points for guessing that image effects are a major part of Flickr’s latest update. Discovering photos on the service has become a lot easier as well, as there is a now dedicated section for that purpose in the app. Read More

Glimmr For Android: A Simple Holo-Themed Flickr App With Groups & Sets

Flickr, the photo-sharing wonder by Yahoo!, is undoubtedly an addictive platform that offers high quality service to its users, courtesy of its beautifully-laid-out web design and an equally promising official mobile client. Speaking of Flickr apps for mobile, while the service's official Android app lets users search for, edit, share and explore photos in plenty of different ways, there are certain third-party offerings that try to replicate the functionality of the ‘real thing’, allow browsing geo-tagged images, and create a live wallpaper from your favorite Flickr photos. New to the scene, Glimmr is a simple yet neatly-designed unofficial Flickr client for Android that is amongst the very first alternatives to sport the crowd-favorite Holo theme. Although currently under development, the app already packs quite a few tidy features that can make you fall in love with Glimmr. Right from its elegantly designed home screen to the subtle customizations, the app is all about keeping things simple. As of this writing, Glimmr is, in no way, ready to threaten the official Flickr Android app, but if you’re after something a bit more Holo, Glimmr is certainly up for grabs. Details past the break.

DestroyFlickr: Complete Desktop Manager For Your Flickr Account

Flickr is a image hosting service that allows users to upload their photos, share them with others and follow photo streams put up by other people. Other than that, the service is also hugely popular among people who need a third party platform to upload images in order to use them in their own websites. The best thing about Flickr is that in order to view the images uploaded to it by other people, you don’t have to register with the service. You can view any picture uploaded by any user, as long as he has chosen to share it publicly. However, once registered, you get the privilege of uploading images to your own account. Others can follow you, check out what you are uploading and comment on the photos. Previously, we have covered some very useful desktop tools for managing online services, without accessing them from your browser. DestroyFlickr is an Adobe AIR-based desktop utility that allows you to control all aspects of your Flickr account. The application enables you to manage your Profile, follow activity of your Contacts, download images to your computer, View, delete and edit (change name, add description) your own images, and have an overall view of all the streams added to your account.

Jolicloud For iPhone & Android: All Your Social Media Photos, Links & Videos Under One Hood

Leave a comment
Jolicloud is not a new name when it comes to cloud integration of data, as the web version of the service has been around for quite a while and has managed to gain considerable popularity among users. The idea behind Jolicloud is rather simple, albeit infinitely useful. This service lets you manage all your data and media content, from all your social network and other online accounts, by treating it as if it belonged to the same source. In Jolicloud, the content you shared on a particular date is displayed on the timeline, regardless of the source of the content. This means that a Facebook photo and a link from Twitter might appear next to each other if they were shared at the same time. The services that can be linked to your Jolicloud account include just about all the popular ones, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr and many others, making Jolicloud a truly useful integrator for all the content that matters. Update: Jolicloud is now available on Android as well. We've added a link to its Google Play Store page at the end. Read More

Comments on popular services like Flickr and YouTube can be quite useful when you want to find out what the crowd thinks about a particular video or photo, but at the same time, too many comments can make things complicated, especially if they span multiple pages. OpinionCloud, a Chrome extension and Firefox Add-on, changes the way you read user comments on YouTube and Flickr. It does this by summarizing comments into a negative and positive word cloud of sorts, providing an overview of the overall public opinion. The bigger the word, the more common its occurrence is, and the colors denote positive or negative points of view. Moreover, clicking one of the words pulls up a list of related comments. All of this appears underneath the video, and you can easily toggle the keywords on and off by clicking the OpinionCloud button. With it, you can simply  and look at decent videos and photos that actually interest you. Read More

If you’ve granted permissions to loads of apps on multiple personal accounts over time, it can be quite difficult to figure out exactly where to go and delete them. A few days back we covered a web application called Bliss Control that provided us with a single directory of links to manage all our social networks' settings. MyPermissions is a similar tool that gives you one-click access to the app permissions page for multiple social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Dropbox, Flickr and more. While Bliss Control allows you to access multiple settings, MyPermissions is specialized for managing your apps on social media sites. With it, you can spend only a few minutes, and get rid of all the random apps that have access to your personal information. The service doesn’t require your login information to work, and merely points you to the right settings page on the appropriate website. It does, however, require you to be signed in to your social networking accounts. Read More

This sidebar is added to the right hand side of Google Search results, which lets you quickly browse through search results of multiple services, without having to open new tabs or windows. Sidebar can be useful for people who regularly look up search terms on different services, such as, Wikipedia, Google or YouTube, and can save a lot of time and effort.

With the amount of data being stored using cloud based services, including social networking platforms and personal storage websites, it is becoming hard to track and download data individually from numerous online accounts.

We have previously reviewed a number of Flickr image editing and batch downloading applications, like Flickr Edit and Bulkr. However, such applications are either restricted to downloading images from personal accounts or have convoluted settings and are often resource hogs. Recently, we came across a light weight Flickr batch download application known as Flickr Photo Downloader. Despite being a Java-based program, it has a memory stamp of just 12 MB (approximately), and provides simplified options for downloading images from any Flickr profile that has made images public.
