Flickr + Lightroom = Flickroom

Flickr + Lightroom = Flickroom http://www.flickroom.org/beta/

For image-obsessed creatives, Flickr has no parallel. No matter what you're interested in, it's pretty much guaranteed to be on Flickr.

But Flickr's interface doesn't live up to the images it displays. The fact that you can see only two images at a time while browsing a photostream is one example. And sometimes the white background is distracting.

A new free app called Flickroom wants to give you a better experience. It's a rich Internet application; that is, it lives in the spaces between desktop applications and standard Web sites. But the technology behind it isn't important -- what's cool is that it gives you a better way to keep tabs on Flickr. Flickroom's buttons let you upload images, see comments on your photostream, add notes and comments, mark favorites, tweet about images, and more.
