The November issue of Macworld magazine (yes, it's still arriving) contained a fabulous piece by Derrick Story on things you can do with Flickr: Great Flickr add-ons.
Cool tools for fans of the popular photo-sharing site. Excerpt:

Edit photos online

If you decide you want to touch up your photos after uploading them to your Flickr account, turn to Picnik.
This free online image editor includes essential tools—such as
cropping, color adjustment, red-eye reduction, and sharpening—and
connects seamlessly to Flickr.

Once you sign up for a Picnik account, you can access your Flickr
photos from Picnik’s interface, perform your edits, and then save the
corrected version back to your Flickr account. You can either replace
the original or upload the altered version as a new image. The whole
process works wonderfully.

Indeed it does. I just registered on Picnik (thanks to Barbara Iverson for telling me about it recently) and edited a live photo on my Flickr photo stream in a couple of minutes.

Add Flickr images to your site

Wouldn’t it be nice to include a slide show or preview of your favorite pictures on your blog or personal Web site?

One solution is Admarket’s flickrSlidr,
which lets you embed custom Flickr slide shows on any Web page. Just
provide flickrSlidr with the URL of the photostream, photo set, or
group from which you want to grab photos, or enter tags to create a
thematic slide show. Then specify the height and width of the slide
show, and in return you’ll receive the HTML code to paste into your Web
page.

Anybody out there trying this? Wondering if it's nicer than the two row of Flickr thumbnails I have over there on the right.

Want to strip out Flickr tags en masse?

First, make sure you’re logged in to your Flickr account. Then point your browser here. Replace tagtodelete in the URL with the tag you want to strip out. Confirm your decision, and the tag will be removed from all your images.

Like cartoons? I need to try this:

Create a comic strip

Want to say something with your photos? Bubblr
can help. This online tool lets you create comic strips using images
from Flickr. The Bubblr site lets you pull in photos from your personal
photostream, or search the entire Flickr site via tags. Simply drag
images into your comic strip’s frames, and then add dialogue or thought
bubbles filled with your own text. When you’re done, you can publish
your masterpiece on the Bubblr site, where others can enjoy it. To
download the strip to your Mac, click on the Print link at the bottom
of the page and choose Save As PDF from the Print dialog box.

And plenty more

These Flickr tools represent merely a fraction of what’s available
to adventurous Flickr users. For a list of other plug-ins and tools,
