If you�re reading this, then you probably know that Facebook is an extremely widespread platform, with more than 52,000 applications that help users to interact and expand their social connections. It�s only natural that Flickr integration applications are starting to play a significant and comprehensive role in the app landscape, as they combine the social networking power of Facebook with Flickr�s image hosting strengths. These apps allow photographers to find recognition, appreciation, exposure, and maybe even work or sales on Facebook, through easy integration of these two websites. 
Flickr photographers, of course, range from professional artists to those that just dabble in or appreciate the arts. Facebook provides an audience for the full spectrum; an artistic viewership, artist connections, or just sharing of casual photos with your photographer friends. But it doesn�t stop there: Flickr integration allows photographers of all types to share their work instantly and automatically with not only their entire social map of friends, but their friends� friends as well.
If you�re new to the phenomenon, try this Flickr app on Facebook. It provides a link to the Flickr photo stream, imports thumbnail previews of whatever photos you pick out of your own gallery, and automatically updates your Facebook status with each photo upload. Links take you directly to the Flickr page you want to visit, so no more surfing around trying to find that pic� and since everything imports automatically, you get the benefits of posting photos on both sites without having to actually upload to and organize two separate websites.
Undoubtedly, these integration apps work as a great foundation for both serious and casual photographers. If you are a photographer and a member of Flickr who wishes to share your work with your friends on Facebook, or to spread your work to a larger viewership, Flickr integration is a delightfully flexible and effective solution!
