We are proud to announce that Yahoo! with DevelopmentArc assistance launched an enhanced Yahoo! Mail Flickr application.  The updated application built for the new Yahoo! Mail interface allows users to quickly view and share photos stored on Flickr, directly within the mail interface. A user can login and view their own photos and/or view those available to the public. With three clicks, users can construct an email and share a photo or set with friends and family.

DevelopmentArc was responsible for enhancing the Flickr 1.0 application by developing and integrating a customized localization system to enable Yahoo! to provide different languages for the application. The new application now supports 7 locales including; English Australia, English United Kingdom, English United States, Spanish Mexico, Portuguese Brazil, Chinese (traditional) Taiwan, and Chinese (traditional) Hong Kong.

As well as localizing the application, new features were added  such as the ability for users to view and share their photo sets. Images will give users information about who took the picture and other details. The layout was extended to use a tab view instead of a smaller dialog. When a user resizes the window, the photo viewport now expands and collapses to give them more columns of photos. No longer will users with 30’ Mac monitors suffer the same fate of 1024x768 resolution users.

If you are using the New Yahoo! Mail (not Classic view) install the application and start sharing some photos.  We hope you enjoy the enhancements!
