Right on the page before you go to authorize on flickr it says, "We ask for 'write' permissions for your photos so that if you turn on the writing of machine tags in your account settings, then we have permission to do so. Don't worry — we won't touch your photos without your explicit permission." I agree it is a a matter trust and the noticin.gs people got bit by a pack of hyenas and went stark raving mad, they could modify your photos, but.... well its your call of course.

But it made me a little wary when I read that by agreeing, Noticin.gs could "Upload, Edit, and Replace photos and videos in your account." I'm not sure I want someone to be able to do that to my account. Thanks for telling about this and I will be watching it closely. Noticin.gs looked interesting and I almost signed up.
