Introducing Picasa 3.0 (and big changes for Picasa Web Albums) (88)

by Karen (822) on

The Official Google Blog (914) 2 days, 6 hours ago permalink

A little over two years ago, we launched Picasa Web Albums to make publishing photos online easy. Now Picasa Web Albums hosts billions of online photos from around the globe, with users adding millions of new snapshots every day. Each of these photos records a different moment, or a different perspective, but one thing they all have in common is that in each case, the person behind the camera wanted to share their experience with ...

TechCrunch (5401) 2 days, 13 hours ago permalink

Do you have 53 followers on Twitter? Shouldn’t you be making money off of them somehow, selling their attention to the highest bidder? Well, now you can with TwitAd. You list how many followers you have and for how much you are willing to sell an ad on your Twitter page, and TwitAd will match you with advertisers. Then the ad sits on the empty left-hand column of your Twitter page. The ads appear on ...

The Inquisitr (221) 2 days, 13 hours ago permalink

It’s a big day for Google. In addition to the company’s official Chrome browser announcement later today, the G-Team is also planning to reveal plans for a revamped Picasa that’ll feature cutting-edge facial recognition technology. The new tool will analyze people’s faces and link images it sees as having the same person. Once you fill in that person’s name, Picasa will let you access all of his or her pictures with a single click. It’s ...

The Digital Inspiration blog details a relatively simple method for creating your own interactive instant messenger "bot" that will take action once it receives an IM. Creating the bot requires an invitation from the IMified service, as well as some web space to host a bot script.

Based in Germany and apparently launched just this month, Forestle is a search engine using Google’s Custom Search program. On their homepage they say, “Save 0.1 yd² of rainforest with each search you do at Forestle. So far we have already saved 25,024.6 yd² of rainforest!” Now when you do a search, the result shows a “Forbidden” message from Google, and above it Forestle prints this message: <<Google ended partnership with Forestle!

WorkLight: Bringing Enterprise 2.0 to a Widget Near You (11)

by Roi Carthy (27) on

TechCrunch (5401) 1 week ago permalink

It’s no longer an issue of whether enterprise services should be 2.0′d via widgets, RSS, and the like. CIOs & CSOs grasp the undeniability of this paradigm. But there is still a gap between the desire and reality of getting these enterprise services out the door. It’s one thing to design a Facebook application, it’s another getting it to interact with the backend systems commonly deployed in enterprise IT setups. Enter WorkLight, an Israeli startup ...

It all began with a request from a fellow teacher to teach him how to write a mathematical equation inside his paper.

Firefox only: Mozilla Labs unveils the first prototype of a natural language web service connector called Ubiquity, a Firefox extension that adds a command panel to any web page. Ubiquity will look familiar to Quicksilver, Launchy, or Enso users: you invoke Ubiquity with a key combination and the text field drops down command suggestions as you type. Ubiquity's built-in command set consists of "user-centric mashups" that let you perform tasks using various web services in ...
