I just discovered that two of my favorite web tools work together.
I read all my news and blogs via Bloglines. I share pictures with my friends via Flickr. Both great tools. Flickr in particular has a lot of potential.
Now, all my friends and family’s new pictures show up every morning in Bloglines when I read the news! So along with my daily news I also see the most recent pictures of my friends’ trips to Oregon and my cousin’s birthday party.
Here’s how you do it:
- You can go to any Flickr page (I went to "Photos from Friends and Family") and at the bottom right there is an RSS feed. Copy that link.
- Go to Bloglines, my feeds, and "Add a Feed", use the link where it asks for the RSS feed.
- Then presto! I can now see all the new pictures my friends add in Bloglines!
Way cool.
