Do you have a (VOX) blog?

If you do, you can connect to it via Flickr. Why? So you can post photos or video you see around here straight to your blog. When you go through the process, you have to connect to your blogging service first (by telling us the URL and your username & password), then you can choose a layout for each post (or create your own if you know a bit of HTML).

Set up your blog

O2 The Memory Project

Your chance to get inside a piece of photo/video art ! If you are in Edinburgh this weekend (26-27 Apr 08) "pop into" this piece of art ! If not then view the O2 The Memory Project 24 hour x 360 degrees Adobe Flash animation on the web !

It's a very arty/flashy/trendy Adobe Flash presentation and it is not very obvious how to navigate through it !

Here are some tips:
 

• click on a city
• then
  
• move your mouse UP and DOWN to go forwards and back in time
• or
• move your mouse LEFT or RIGHT to rotate through 360 degrees

RedBubble is a business media network and online art gallery that helps you sell your artwork & photos.

You can use RedBubble to:

• Sell your work online;
• Connect with a vibrant community of creative folk; or
• Buy framed prints, posters, canvas prints, t-shirts, greeting cards or your very own calender.

Upload your photos to Panoramio and geotag them !

Then add the following into an iframe on your site

• k = kind of map, 0 = map, 1 = satellite, 2 = hybrid
• user = youruserid !

Learn about the Web Services standards REST and JSON by using Google Panoramio and just your web browser !

Using the Google Panoramio API you can display the photos from Panoramio on your own web site. Geolocated photos from Panoramio are great to enrich your maps or illustrate information where location is a important factor (real estate sites, hotels and vacation sites, routes & trails...).

Here's how you'd get some photos of London (X=~0,Y=~51)

pidgintech have created http://www.klostu.com/ and http://www.fotopages.com/ but can they compete with the awesomeness of VOX ?

and what is the connection (if any) between pidgintech and the free libre open source pidgin IM client ?

Thanks to http://ocifant.vox.com/library/post/tidying-my-photos.html I have just discovered the Yahoo! ZoneTag and Zurfer BETA mobile phone apps !

ZoneTag
ZoneTag can tag your photos with the location in which they were taken.

Zurfer
Zurfer shows you photos taken around you, and exposes interesting 'local highlights'.

If you have a Symbian S60 (V2 ?) series phone you may like to give them a try !

If you are interested in helping Google improve the relevance of image search results for users like yourself and you have some spare time then why not give it a go ?

Although you do not have to log in to your Google account to help, logging in will allow you to keep track of your points. You can also choose to provide a nickname, or you can remain anonymous.

You know you're a flickrholic when

• you feel guilty about posting photos without tagging them
• you feel guilty about posting photos adding them to relevant groups

fortunately there are a couple of remedies you could try

• allow anyone to add tags to your photos
• hope that group admins invite your photos to their groups
  

If you are not sure what your settings are you can check them at
