37 Tools To Upload to Flickr From Windows, Mac & Linux

FlickrPhotoUploadTools Today, Flickr announced a partnership with Microsoft to enable direct uploads to Flickr via Windows Live Photo Gallery.  This is yet another excellent way to get your photos to Flickr.  But don't stop there because there are currently 37 different ways to upload pictures to Flickr and I'll give you the low-down for each of them here.

Whether you are using Windows, a Mac, Linux or even your mobile phone; there are many ways to get those pictures to Flickr.  Many of the tools go way beyond the ability to upload and include editing, tagging and more.
