Flickr Bookmarklet
What is this?
An easy to use javascript bookmarklet to return the base58 encoded and shortened version of a Flickr photograph URL. The shortened url will look like,
http://flic.kr/p/XXXXXwhere XXXXX is the base58 encoded string representing your photograph's unique ID.
Installation
Installing this bookmarklet is quick. Simply drag the following link to your bookmarks toolbar / menu.
flic.krHow to use
Once installed, usage of the bookmarklet is very straight forward. If you're viewing a photograph on flickr, (IE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/justinshattuck/4786486333/) and you click the
flic.krbutton that was created when you installed the bookmarklet in your toolbar, it will return the shortened flic.kr version of the URL (ie: http://flic.kr/p/8hXZCr).
