Quickly Share Flickr Pics or Video via Email
Posted by Adam Pash at 4:00 AM on April 25, 2008
Sharing a Flickr photo or video has become that much easier, with a new Share this! button that provides tools to email, embed, link to, or blog any Flickr photo or video. Although sharing options aren't entirely new (you could always "Blog this", for example), the email option is the snazziest new feature. It auto-completes your Flickr contacts or accepts any full email address. If you're not crazy about just anyone emailing your photos with this tool, head to your account page to change who can use the Share this feature on your account. If you're like me and you got excited about the idea that you could sideload pics from another Flickr account to your own using your Flickr upload email address, it unfortunately doesn't seem to work.

This is nice. One thing I wish was that I could keep an address book of non-Flickr people so I didn't have to hand enter the addresses each time.
I wonder if there will be a group to protest this? ;)

@armeck: I have the same wish. I got a lot of friends that I took photos of, and they don't have Flickr account.

I'm also the same. I don't want to 'force' my friends to sign up to a Flickr account just to give them easy access without making all my photos available for public viewing.
