Flickr, one of the world’s most popular photo-sharing sites, now has an iPhone application!
Reports say that Flickr’s iPhone app is now available in the iTunes Store for free. Taking the features of this newest app, you’ll say that it’s exceptionally done well.
Once you have downloaded this iPhone app and logged in, the front page is loaded with the images. You can also see the images from your friends.
There’s a search box at the top of the screen which has several options such as ‘all uploads,’ ‘from your contacts,’ and ‘your photostream.’
The app is so cool for Flickr users but it has limitations. Though you can put your location on the app, you can’t look for photos within your locations.
Another button in the app is the ‘i’ button where you can see the information about the app and privacy policies. On the upper left screen, that’s where you can login or log out.

Many of you have written asking us if we have seen the change with the Google preferences and whether we know or not what happened.
Yes, we have figured out what happened so we will answer the question for anyone who is still trying to figure it out.
On the Google search page or home page, there was a link called “preferences” in between “advanced search” and “language tools”. It has been removed but not deleted. Really, it has just been renamed and repositioned.
You may now find the preferences under “search settings” in the very top right of the page. In between “igoogle” and “login”.
Hope that helps!

Did you notice yesterday that when you used Google, the search box was wider? In addition, the font for the text was much bigger. While I do not think this is particularly bad, I wonder why they couldn’t make a note on the page letting us know. I actually thought that my computer had done an update and one of my settings had been changed.
I have spent time worrying about things changing and just read on another site that Google had made the changes themselves. Until I get used to the screen, I find it irritating but at the same time, it is easier to see for many people.
Like I said, I do not think it is a bad thing, I just wish I would have realized the change was legit and not something going on with my system!
