I am a huge Flickr user and this AM I noticed a new way to upload pictures... So I skipped over to the Flickr blog and saw a post named Improved Web Uploading.

  • A snazzy new interface! Designed to show you clearer progress for your uploads.
  • More files at once. Only six photos per upload? Ha! Now you can select a bunch of files all at once (using shift-click) and upload them all together.
  • New batch operations. Once your photos have arrived safely, add tags to the batch, or add them all to one of your sets.
  • Magic pixie dust. Helps your photos upload faster!

Here are screen captures of the new process:
