What is Gickr?

Gickr is a partner Web 2.0 application to Flickr

Gickr.com lets you create online animated slideshows and share them online

Gickr is actually easier than Flickr to use. In minutes you can quickly upload images and create an animated slideshow that you can email to friends or link to a blog

Like Flickr, there are privacy options but the site warns you that once an option is set, it cant be undone

In the future you will be able to upload a Flickr set to Gickr, but for now its not functional. You will need to access images from your computer.
