Photosync: Sync Flickr Photos to Facebook

 

Photosync is a very simple web app that lets you sync Facebook and Flickr photos. If you’re too lazy to upload photos to both Facebook and Flickr accounts, or can’t really decide where you want to upload first, simply give Photosync access to both accounts and you won’t have to worry anymore.

What the app does is that it constantly checks your Flickr account for new photo uploads. Any time you upload more photos to Flickr, they will automatically be copied over to Facebook within an hour. The service is free and you can start using it by clicking the link below.

SaveVideo.Me: Download Videos From Different Video Services

The internet does not come short when speaking of downloaders for YouTube hosted videos. There are a number of good YouTube Video downloaders out there that you can utilize for that task. But, what if you want to download videos hosted on sites other than YouTube? SaveVideo.Me has come to save the day. It is a video download tool that will let you download videos from YouTube and other video portals as well.

SaveVideo.Me supports YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, Veoh, Flickr, Google Videos and blip.tv. The service works like most basic online video download tools. All you need to do is copy the video URL, paste it on SaveVideo.me and hit the download button. When your link to a file will be generated – press the link “Download video file” (under the form) the right mouse button and will select in the menu, “Save link as…”

Some of the video-hosting-services do not provide you with the real name of the video file.

So you will have to rename the file before or after saving (for example: video.flv). Also it is possible to copy the address of the generated link in any program for downloading (for example: FlashGet).

For play video (.flv and others) – use for example: VLC Player.

You can download videos in FLV, MP4, MOV, AVI or 3GP (mobile) formats depending on the video provider. If you need a different format other than the downloaded format, you’ll need to use a video converter.

The service is still new and has a lot of room for improvement. They could include a converter which will allow users to download any video format of their choice, like other video download tools that are available online. Also, adding supported sites such as Vimeo, Twitvid and other video hosts on their list will definitely make SaveVideo.me more versatile. Other than that, the service is extremely useful if you want to download videos from video sites other than YouTube and it will definitely make my list bookmarked sites.

iMapFlickr: Create an Embeddable Customized Map of Geotagged Flickr Photos

iMapFlickr is a web application that allows you create an interactive map with geolocated images on it using the Google Maps and Flickr API. With this tool, you’ll be able to easily create something that normally requires a web developer.

The map only takes a few minutes to create. You need to find your Flickr Photoset(s). In order to do that, you need to enter one piece of information from your Flickr account. You can choose to enter the email address linked to your Flickr account, your Flickr URL or Flickr ID. Once your Photosets appear simply click the “Create Map” link on each respective photoset. Once the map is created, you can simply insert a small HTML snippet in your website where you want it to display.

This is the easiest way to create a custom Google Map(s) from your geotagged Flickr photos in a non-technical manner. Embed them in your website or blog. You can also share them on your Facebook, Twitter or your favorite social networking site.
