Day Remains: Flickr Photo Upload Tool No Longer Free
Flickr is ditching some of the free features the photography service launched last year. Oh, Flickr. In the face of free alternatives, it’s hard to justify loyalty to a pioneering photo site.
- Last year, Flickr launched a free tool called Uploadr that automatically uploads your photos to the service, but now they make it exclusive to paid Flickr Pro members . There is currently a 30% discount on a 1-year Pro subscription (usually $ 49.99) if you’re so inclined. [Flickr via The Verge ]
- The lightweight Facebook app for Android now supports video playback . Facebook Lite is designed for low-cost phones and slow connections and has over 100 million users worldwide. [The Next Web]
- You can now share your tabs with Firefox’s built-in Hello video chat . It’s useful and great, but I’m sharing this news primarily as a reminder that Firefox has its own video chat. [Mozilla]
- Facebook acquired the popular face-exchange application MSQRD . Personally, I’d love to see some silly Snapchat-like filters in my feed. You know you like them too. [Tech Insider]
- Google hopes to support the small but dedicated group of Google+ devotees with a new Create Initiative, which will provide active members with verified profiles and some new features. [TechCrunch]
