Share Your Flickr Photos Without Requiring People to Sign Up
The other week, I was looking for a way to email private photos to a friend without requiring them to sign up with Flickr.
Remember I was upset in the past that there was no way to do this? And then the founder of Flickr told me it is on its way...
Well, it is here and has been here for a while now and I didn't even know!
On November 20, 2006, Flickr released a feature called Guest Pass.
Basically, you can email a photo set to up to 50 people, granting them access to that set or more for an unlimited or set time frame.
To share photos, you must add those photos to a set. After you do that, click on the set and click "Share this set."
Then it will take you to a page like this, simply fill it out.
Click send and presto. Yes, you can invite people to see pictures even if they are already contacts, which is nice for those who forget their passwords. :)
What is also nice is you can view your "guest passes" and send them again, see if they were used and also "expire" them so they no longer work.
You can do that at your Guest Pass History page.
I cannot believe I missed this feature until recently.
Flickr now totally rocks!
