Flickr: Add referrer into comments 1.1

An annoying thing on flickr is that you never know where people that visit your photo have found it.

7 August 2006, by Mortimer

This is a small script that will add a small text at the end of your comment saying where you come from.

If everyone starts using this script, then it will be easy to see where the people have found your photos and how they got to comment on it.

You can discuss this tool on Flickr Hacks original discussion.

2 Users of other browsers (IE6, Safari, etc...)

there is a bookmarklet/favlet

and a tutorial on using that would be really short:

Installation

Drag (click on it and keep your finger on the mouse key) this:

"Flickr Refer Comment"

to your Bookmarks/Favorites bar

If you don’t know how to drag the link, just right click on it and select: "Bookmark this Link" or "Add to Favorites..." (depending on the browser).

Usage

When you visit a photo and want to leave a footprint, click on the new bookmark/favorite to add the text at the end of the comment.
