Flickr coming to Windows 7

Flickr coming to Windows 7

Thanks to CNet for this story

 

The photo service takes full advantage of Windows 7's side-scrolling interface, offering a smooth transition that takes you from recent content to tagged photos to a screen that lets you explore the larger Flickr library.* Clicking on any image takes you to a screen that offers the full array of features: you can read and add comments, as well as view location info if available. Photos with GPS tags can also be viewed on a map that will show others Flickr user pics nearby.

The app takes things a step further on the tablet, offering an innovative browsing mode for viewing or discovering groups of photos. There's also a cool faded-out copy of each photo as the background for each individual pic page. Really, words don't do this software justice, which is why Flickr has also released this demo video.

Flickr for Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7 is free and will be available to users at the end of this month.
