I've just noticed that Argos have some interesting deals on digital cameras:

• 7M Canon A470 3.4x for £50
• 10M Nikon S560 5x for £150
• 6M Nikon D40 DSLR (inc 18-55 lens) for £250

but how can i decide which one to buy ?

So I thought lets use flickr to help me decide

Only 200 A470 owners uploaded photos YESTERDAY but 3000 D40 owners did !

• http://www.flickr.com/cameras/canon/a470/
• http://www.flickr.com/cameras/nikon/d40/

31/75 flickr members own a A470 ! and its well down the popularity list ! whats wrong with it ?

6000/13000 flickr members own the d40 and its the 4th most popular Nikon ! impressive figures !

Or maybe I should save up for a D60 instead !

PIXELPIPE looks real clever in that it can upload the same photo(s) to dozens of BMN & SMN sites simulatanesly !

You can use it with Nokia Photos on Windoz to upload JPGs (but not PNGs) or a special edition of jUploadr on Apple Mac OS/X.

Nokia Photos is a free desktop photo organizer with integrated uploader (Nokia device not required).

• setup: Choose ‘Tools>Options>Web Accounts’, and add Pixelpipe using the
• address: http://pixelpipe.com/services/lifeblog/
• username: pixelpipeemail
• password: pixelpipepassword
• supports: photo,video,title, caption

Is there any way I can run jUploadr on Windoz without getting the following errors ?

C:\ProgFiles\jUploadr111>jUploadr.bat

Web 3.0 Multi-Media implosion and convergence

For starters have a look at:

• http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomcochrane/3215225090/
• http://thomcochrane.vox.com/library/post/ted-talks-now-on-iphone.html
• http://thomcochrane.vox.com/library/post/new-media-consortium-emerging-technologies-2009-report.html
• http://thomcochrane.vox.com/library/post/nokia-share-online-services.html

Then consider pixelpipe and how it allows you to converge:

• flickr + picassa + ovi + imagej + vox + juploadr + nokia-photos + many more
  

The latest flickr / googlemaps / yahoomaps geomap geotag mapping craze seems to be GeoShapes and GeoShaping. Which is basically giving a shape to a locality !

What's the connection between dopplr, flickr, geotagging & openstreetmap ?

Watch the video:

Listen to the podcast:

• http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2008/07/31/s01e11-blowin-in-the-wind/

Read these media articles:

• http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap_in_the_media

See how yahoo flickr seamlessly merges its maps with OpenStreetMap maps :

Finally why not join the Change !

• http://www.change.org/changes/view/2658

... and it wasn't even a flickr photowalk ! ... it was The 18th CloudMade OpenStreetMap Summer 2008 Mapping Party ! CloudMade were giving out some great OpenStreetMap MOO Stickers and I legitimately added photos from the 1 hr photo / geotagging / mapping walk to ALL the flickr groups below.

Interestingly only 6 people had signed up on the upcoming event  but 16 turned up on the night !

If you want to help change the (map of the) world (or just get a sticker) turn up at the next OpenStreetMap event apparently thet meet every week in London !
