Last week our friends over at Flickr HQ released two cool new treats for Flickrati. On the same day! Check out the new stats for Pro account holders, and the free new Uploadr 3.0 for one and all. There's a Windows Vista and XP version and one for Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4. (The older uploader is still supported, as is the web-based upload form.)

If you're a Flickr pro account holder, you can now get full-on Flickr stats for your photos with detailed daily, weekly, and all-time view counts, referrers, and nearly everything else numeric you might want to know about your images and who's looking at them. If you upgrade now to a pro account, 28 days of stats await you. Just give the Flickr folks about 24 hours to get your stats up and running.

And even if you're not in LaughingSquid's league of "millions served" you're bound to discover something unexpected.

The new uploader has even more offline functionality, "plus, for the first time ever, you can reorder your photos before uploading by simply dragging them into place!" And, for folks like me, who manage more than one Flickr account, once you've authorized the uploader to access your accounts, the new tool is just as easy as the old one for switching between multiple accounts.

Finally, if you've been missing from Flickr since the first day of Hanukah, you might not know about the new online editing feature. Flickr's new partnership with Piknick makes it possible to edit your photos splendidly and seamlessly online. For free!

Maybe we should call it a hat trick. Flickr, the loldolphins love you.
