Flickroom is back with another exciting contest! We are giving away a Flickr Pro account and all you need to do is:
1) Take a screenshot of your photostream in Flickroom and upload it to Flickr (see example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11395142@N00/4094378925/) with description as “My photostream as seen in <a href=http://flickroom.org>Flickroom</a>”
2) Leave the Flickr link to the screenshot in the comments below to be eligible for the lucky draw
On February 22, we will randomly choose one winner to receive a Flickr Pro account. If you are a Pro account holder already, your Pro account will be extended by 1 year.
UPDATE: The contest is now closed and we have a winner amongst us! Jon Gibbons (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gibbopool2003/4341790162/) wins a Flickr Pro account from the Flickroom team for participating in this contest!

Version 0.24 Beta Now Live!
by Flickroom Team on Oct.09, 2009, under Announcements, Contests
Flickroom Team is back with a new update to provide you an even better Flickr experience! This update is aimed at making Flickroom accessible to more and more users in an easy and slick manner. Read on to find out all the new goodies in Version 0.24 Beta [available for download via http://www.flickroom.org/]:
- Anonymous Access - Flickroom now provides you an option to use the application without requiring login (authenticating the application). You will be able to access all features of Flickroom except the following:
- Commenting and Uploading Tools
- Viewing Recent Activity
To access Flickroom anonymously, click on the “No, I want to use Flickroom without my login” button. If you are already logged in, you will need to logout first and then try out this mode.
- WebShare - So you have been enjoying the Flickroom experience to browse your Flickr photos in a whole new way. Well, how about sharing the same cool experience with your friends who are not using Flickroom or even Flickr! Following are two ways to showcase your photos the Flickroom way:
- Just pass on the following link to your friends and relatives:
- http://flickroom.org/web/share.swf?emailid=<your_yahoo_emailid>
- Otherwise, you can create a webshare widget by clicking on “Create a Webshare” button (available in the application’s status bar at the bottom). It will generate an HTML code snippet which would allow you to embed Flickroom view (as a Flash widget) in a webpage.
- Just pass on the following link to your friends and relatives:
- Slideshow - A basic slideshow feature is now available while viewing photos (in photostream, sets and group pools)
- Search Tool - There is now a search tool in the following modules - Sets, Groups and Contacts. Also, all of them are now sorted alphabetically by default.
- Image Caching Setting - There is now a setting in the Settings Manager which allows you to enable/disable caching of all the photos that Flickroom shows in different places. This setting is turned OFF by default. Switching it ON would result in extremely fast loading of images that you have seen in the past (as it would avoid any network activity). However, it would take up some extra space to store those images on your disk.
- UI Improvement and Bug Fixes - A lot of UI polish across the application and specifically for the chatroom has been done.
Hope you will continue to enjoy Flickroom!
Happy Flickrooming!
-The Flickroom Team
