Top 10 Flickr Hacks

As you can probably tell, I am a fan of Flickr. You can tell this by the number of posts I make citing Flickr resources and "hacks." Well, Thomas Hawk has published a list of the Top 10 Flickr Hacks, in which he talks about 10 different uses of Flickr that aren't Flickr themselves. While I agree that some of these sites are "hacks," I was surprised to see another site I truely love, Tabblo on the list.

You see, unlike Flickrleech (#1 on the list, btw), which relies totally on Flickr to function, Tabblo enables you to upload your photos to its site. The Flickr integration is only a convenience and the site does not rely on Flickr to function. I think the Tabblo approach to this is genius too. They being a startup, much like Flickr was, have seen the success and the flock of people using Flickr. They aren't competing with Flickr and in fact they have a totally different product. But, they are able to capitalize on Flickr users, because afterall, who wants to maintain two photo collections on the web? Certainly not me.
