How much does 16TB cost?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Here are a few items worth sharing that I think photographers would find interesting. If you run across cool news, applications or information, please share it in the comments.

Dropico.com : A photography management system that allows you to drag and drop images between social platforms simply and seamlessly.  Currently the platform works with MySpace, Facebook Photobucket, Bebo, Flickr, Picasa and Twitter.

Google is now offering 20GB of cloud drive space for $5.00 a year or up to 16TB (terabyte) for around $4,000 a year. This is an option for photographers or videographers looking for large off-site accessible storage capacity.

Live photo sharing: Share up to 100 photographs instantly between iPhones with a new application called Knocking. The first 50,000 downloads are available at the Apple store for free. See video below.

Keeping you in touch with social technololgy

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Below are some quick notes and links about new social technologies, releases, and  updates that relate to the new media photographer.  Feel free to add more in the comments.

For Mac users: iPhoto 2009 added face recognition and tagging. This feature will also be available for the slide shows.  In addition, iPhoto has added photo sharing with popular social sites such as Facebook and Flickr.  Read more at the apple blog.

Google Picasa for Mac:  I’ve seen mixed reviews.  But, it’s about time. Read more at the Google blog.

Windows Live: Updated photo sharing and hosting service. The site has a number of upgrades, new features and more features promised. The 25GB of storage is very nice,  but you are limited to 500 photographs per month.

Mashface :  Absolutely odd. Combine your face with other  bodies, photos or video.

Tweebay:  The Twitter version of ebay.  I wasn’t sure about it when it was first released, but the web site seems to be picking up steam.

2tweet.com :  This site allows you to tweet (on Twitter)  multiple photos and videos.

12seconds.tv :  This application allows you to share short video updates quickly and easily from your iphone.

www.snapact.com: This site is designed for organizing and photo sharing in one package.  It’s worth a look.
