"For a Web 2.0 powerhouse, Flickr feels awfully Web 1.0. At least that was my conclusion after spending a few hours in the chat rooms of Photophlow, a start-up that grafts a highly interactive experience on top of Yahoo's photo-sharing Web site."

"The application embraces a collection of powerful APIs from a variety of popular services - Flickr (obviously), Twitter, Tumblr - and connects to the instant messaging client of your choice. Even the venerable Yahoo! Search term extractor manages to contribute to the playful ambiance."

"Instead of sending links to your photos, wouldn’t it be cooler if you could embed your photos in your chat window and share them instantly? We think so and that’s the idea behind Photophlow, a program that allows you to chat and share your Flickr photos in real time."

"...I signed up for a trial of photophlow.com, a new service from the admirable Flickr photo community that enables you to discuss and share photos online in real time ... You can instantly call up streams of photos while you are chatting (using text) with others."

"try to get yourself a beta invite through their main website or through one of your Flickr contacts who’s already in. It’s quite an interesting environment and it really brings a new meaning to “Social Networking”."

"this is the most exciting and innovative thing I've seen in photosharing in a long, long time"

"A fun way to share Flickr photos in real time. Invite your friends, search together, chat and comment all at once. [Limited beta]"

"Wow, @neilberkman is showing me around Photophlow and it rocks."

" I have to say, I’ve been using PhotoPhlow off and on all day (for research of course!) and it’s highly addictive. Here’s my screencast tour of PhotoPhlow. "

" My friend Corsin pointed me to a new Flickr-based application called PhotoPhlow today. And after playing with it for a couple of hours, I will say that it might be the most fun and functional application I've seen in quite a while. "

" Still early stage but very well done. Enjoying PhotoPhlow a lot. Reminds me of proto-Flickr. "

" Photophlow is making pictures much more social and alive. And I love that PhotoPhlow is using the Tumblr API. With just one click I can post a Flickr photo I find in a PhotoPhlow room to my tumblelog along with a comment. "

" A view source shows both Prototype and Dojo under the hood, and the UI itself is quite rich... it is Open Web all the way. "
