Flickr Group Management – Invite Pool Sweepr

Since I opened my invite only flickr group Outstanding Shots, I was wondering about writing a program that could automatically sweep the pool searching for invited photos to speed up the moderation process (checking code, adding tags and so on). As I knew it could be done with flickr APIs, I was just waiting to find time to do this ... but DrewMyers has already done a great work with his Invite Pool Sweepr application. It requires .NET framework and once installed you should give it proper authorizations (like any other flickr program), but it's great! It saves me a lot of time and I can concentrate on photos instead of boring tagging and moderation duties You just have to set it with the proper codes you use for invitation, then you can let it run and sweep the pool ("pages" or "photos since date ..."). It can also tag automatically photos with group tag, and provide many shortcuts to any other action you may take versus uninvited photos. Well, you should try it out! Keep in mind that is still a public beta version, so you should use it at your own risk! I have tried it and I'm satified with it!
