Yahoo brings drag-and-drop uploading to Flickr
29/05/2008 by swordfish.
Yahoo has launched a new browser plug-in that allows users to drag and drop photos from their desktop to the photo-sharing site Flickr, among other services.
Dubbed BrowserPlus, the service could be regarded as Yahoo’s equivalent of Google Gears, which extends the functionality of popular web applications off line.
“Yahoo BrowserPlus is software that extends the capabilities of your web browser to make richer web experiences possible,” the company claims. “Different websites can use BrowserPlus to support things like drag and drop from the desktop, easier file uploads, more efficient and secure acquisition of feeds and information, and native desktop notifications.”
Yahoo demonstrated the power of the software with one of its own popular web apps, Flickr. This add on allows users to simply drag and drop photos from their desktop folders into the browser, where basic edits such as cropping, resizing and greyscaling can be applied, before the photos are uploaded into a Flickr account.
BrowserPlus is currently in beta (or ’sneak peak’ mode, to use Yahoo’s parlance) and is available for download here. The software works on both Windows and Mac OS X, with support for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
