Destroy Flickr is the second Adobe Air application that provides Flickr users with capabilities to manager Flickr from the computer desktop. It was one of the recommended applications in the comments of the Zflick Flickr photo viewer review. Destroy Flickr can only be used by Flickr users to manage their own uploaded photos. This limits the reach of the application quite a bit, the remaining functionality has been perfectly brought to the desktop on the other hand.
The user needs to authenticate the application at the first startup after entering the Flickr username or email address. The process is painless and should take less than a minute to complete. It does involve logging into Flickr with the default web browser to allow Destroy Flickr access to the user data.
Destroy Flickr comes with all the functionality needed to manage a Flickr account from the computer desktop. It can be used to view uploaded photos, download uploaded photos, take a detailed look at specific photos, look at photos of contacts or the popular category at Flickr.
The application uses a very slick interface with lots of effects that look really great but do not slow down the application. It’s main use on the other hand is definitely the upload and download capabilities that are provided which makes it more comfortable to work with photos without having to open the Flickr website.
Destroy Flickr needs Adobe Air installed on the computer system. This does make it a cross-platform application on the other hand.

Why the hell would anyone name an application “Destroy” X if it wasn’t a game? Makes the app sound like some sort of a virus or trojan….
Well the developer of destroyFlickr (Jonnie Hallman) has his site named http://destroytoday.com & he also makes the BEST minimalist twitter application called destroyTwitter.
So the whole “destroy” is his theme you could say.
Ghacks should do a post on destroyTwitter he is working on ver2 of that app. He been posting his thought on the new update to his blog http://destroytoday.com/blog/ . Jonnie recently got a job with Adobe because of these appz so he knows his code.
