Flickr wants you to know that it recognizes the sheer amount of photos people take, upload, and share via a mobile device. So it has launched two new services that demonstrate its support for the millions of users who share photos using Flickr daily.
The first is the official Flickr Android app (cousin to the iPhone app) that lets users automatically upload images to their account with the built-in shoot & share camera with adjustable settings like flash and auto-shutter focus. The app also includes filter settings and effects (what mobile photo app doesn't nowadays), but differentiates itself from other similar apps by offering an infinite scrolling feature that lets users flip through all of their flickr photos on one page...no matter how many photos they have uploaded in the past.
The second service is called Photo Session and it gives users a platform to share recently taken photographs live with up to 10 users. The owner of the image simply creates a "Photo Session" and invites viewers. As the owner flips through the images, viewers on their mobile device or laptop/desktop call follow along with your slideshow, add comments and/or draw illustrations on the images, and take control of the slideshow if you give approval. Users can view the session using either a Yahoo! ID or Open ID and a compatible web browser (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari...sorry IE users).

Flickr...the real reason why you need to use Yahoo! is opening up its popular photo site to more users and more capabilities. Check out the new features and let us know what you think.
