iPhoto and flickr

As mentioned on the page describing my setup, I use iPhoto on my PowerBook to organize my digital photos.
Naturally I want to have a backup of the photos. DVD’s don’t work for me - I forget to burn them, and those that I burn, are still in the house, so if the whole thing should burn, they would be useless.
So I decided to use flickr for backup. That also allows me to share the photos with friends and family.
To make it possible these two tools are absolutely necessary:
Without Keyword Assistant, adding keywords/tags in iPhoto would be a nightmare, but with it, it is really fast to do. And once you have added tags to your photos, you will enjoy them much more.
FlickrExport makes it a snap to upload a bunch of photos to flickr and naturally all the keywords/tags from iPhoto transfer nicely to flickr.
