Update: I have 10 invites for PhotoPhlow. Drop me a comment and pick one up!
PhotoPhlow gives you a new way to interact with other Flickr users with real-time chat and photo sharing. To briefly explain (because I think the screencast will help you understand PhotoPhlow’s potential) basically, PhotoPhlow gives you a place to start and join chat rooms where the topic of discussion is all of the lovely Flickr photos everyone in the room is viewing. You can do a search for photos on Flickr and everyone in the room will see the photos you’re seeing. In exchange, you’ll see the photos they’re looking at as well. Of course, you can turn on some privacy settings in case you don’t want other people to see what you’re looking and/or searching for. You can instantly post to Twitter and tumblr right from PhotoPhlow and create your own room that you and your friends can chat in.
I have to say, I’ve been using PhotoPhlow off and on all day (for research of course!) and it’s highly addictive. My friend Allen wrote a great post about PhotoPhlow the other day that’s definitely worth a read for more insight. PhotoPhlow is in private beta right now but if I come across any invites, I’ll be sure to share. Here’s my screencast tour of PhotoPhlow:

What a wonderful idea! I can see this happening more and more elsewhere.
Fantastic example of where the web is heading. No more isolated islands, just open social (heh heh) networks that mix and blend together in digital bliss.
Another excellent screencast… always highlighting the key points that matter.
Well done.

Thanks so much Molly! This is way better than our own screencasts

Your demos are awesome… thanks for all the hard work and time you put into it… I appreciate it.
Neil, your screencasts are great. I was so happy to see that you made a “feature update” screencast. It showed me a few things I missed when first checking out PhotoPhlow. Everyone should be doing this, seriously.
I’m glad everyone enjoyed this screencast. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Hey DG – I only had a quick run through photophlow before flickr went on maintenance yesterday and found your screencast to be a great way to understand the site. I really liked your screencast – great job!
Reminds me of when Ferris Bueler and gang went to the Chicago Museum of Art and wandered around. My wife and I did the same thing. Love it!
i’d love to try out this new interface; any invites left?
Fantastic review / screencast…
If you have any invites left, I would love one.
Thanks!
