Most people are joining social networking sites already. And some of them would also like to share some experiences and knowledges to their friends through their accounts in those networking sites. Sharing pictures are the most popular things that people like to do when they are active users of the social networking site.

For example, you can easily upload your pictures in your Facebook account nowadays. By following few simple steps, you can already share your pictures with your Facebook's friends. To make it easier, you can also host your pictures or files on Flickr. Then you can connect your Flickr account with your Facebook account. Facebook and flickr can be perfectly integrated to share each others' latest information.



How to link your Flickr and Facebook account?

Basically, if you already have Flickr and Facebook account, it is not really that difficult to connect those two. Because Facebook already has the application to connect your Flickr account with your Facebook account.

First, you need to have Flickr account. Then you need to sign into your Flickr account using your Yahoo id.


Then the second step is visiting myflickr application on Facebook homepage. Once you are there, you need the new page click Authenticate to connect your flickr to your Facebook.

There will be a button for you to click if you will allow them to grab pictures that you already upload on your Flickr account.

When you click the "Authenticate" button, you will have the next page that will ask you to choose an option that will continue the process to connect your Flickr account with your Facebook account. The first option will ask you if you arrived at the page because you followed a link from email or others which are not associated with myflickr application. And the second one will be the right option to choose if you really want to connect your flickr account with Facebook.

After you click the right option, there will be another button that you need to click if you want to authorize and continue the process.
 
That was the last step of the process. After you have done those steps, you can go back to your Facebook account. You will see that now you have your flickr photos' thumbnails. If you click one thumbnail on that homepage, it will switch to a flickr page that contained the photo.

So from that moment, you will be able to share your pictures from your Flickr on your Facebook feeds. It means that your friends on Facebook will be able to see the latest pcitures that you upload and host in your Flickr account.

I think this can be a greatest tool for Facebookers if they are willing to share their pictures online with their friends on Facebook sites.
