Here comes Flickrfs!

Just when you thought GMailFS was nifty, here comes Flickrfs, a virtual Linux filesystem for the popular photo-sharing web service, Flickr. A few tidbits:



Flickrfs is a virtual filesystem based upon FUSE for Linux. It can be mounted on your computer and then can be accessed using the standard commands. But, here are the twists. The filesystem uses threads, and hence, improves usability and speed. When you mount the filesystem, it will create 2 directories automatically: 'tags' and 'sets'. 'sets' will automatically retrieve your sets and will show you all the photos available in your sets. You can then easily copy images on your hdd. If you want to add some more photos to these sets, just copy them to the folder, and they will be uploaded to the respective set.
