The Flickr app makes it (really) easy for users to sign on - something that, as Mat Honan explained over at Gizmodo, has plagued the service for awhile. Yahoo has entered the Twitter-Instagram photo war: Adding 16 of those ever-popular filters might not seem like the most original move, but people still love to dress up their photos in retro veneers. Many had hoped that CEO Marissa Mayer would update Flickr as part of her efforts to revive Yahoo, and the decidedly mobile-first executive took that as an excuse to fix the phone version of her once dominant photo site. This week's upgrade has two stand-out features that Flickr lovers should appreciate: This, of course, comes just days after Twitter released its own filters and Instagram unveiled a new one.

When I go to authenticate for the back-end, I get an “oauth_token” error from Flickr. Got my two API keys, added my default user. I created API on Flickr, no issues there. I can “embed” easily enough, but wanted more than that.
