Flickr has a pretty good API, and it's one of the older more well-established photo silos, so it would be a natural place to POSSE to.

Would be nice to be able to automatically create a Flickr POSSE copy photo/video/comment/favorite from indie photo/video posts, Flickr comment from indie reply posts that were in-reply-to a Flickr photo/video, and Flickr favorites from indie likes of Flickr posts.

Specifically:

• photo -> Flickr photo
• video -> Flickr video
• reply in-reply-to a Flickr post -> Flickr comment on that post
• like of a Flickr post -> Flickr favorite on that post

I can't actually close this issue until I add it to the docs though :(

wow, that's awesome, congratulations! so fast too. thank you! and you may still beat me on FB person tagging since it's not in the docs either :P

@tantek ran into an error posting a Instagram photo to Flickr. Maybe, hopefully, transient?
