Re: Google Photos Magic

I had almost the same thing with a series of shots I did last winter. I took 3 pictures at a pond hockey tournament and when I got the message later, they had stitched together the 3 shots into a panorama. I was amazed at how well they put together the general outdoor landscape and people in the photos. They made it look intentional, when I just took a few random shots and didn't really try to align anything.

This is a really interesting use of the technology that Twitter is built on. Just spent a few minutes there and the feed is active with the Bailout (Splurge). Talk about instant feedback cycles. This kind of reminds me of the sci-fi show a while back 'Max Headroom'. Always enjoyed that show, but not sure if I'm ready to live in that world.

I posted last month on my blog about Twitter and why I started using it and today I find I don't go long without setting up Twhirl to see what is going on. I think Twhirl is why I keep going back, but the people I have found to follow are the reason I haven't lost interest.

Twitter may of reached the tipping point. I think a combination of factors is coming together for them. The platform seems to be stable now and users are spending time tweeting about events and not Fail Whales. The number of users is growing and exposing even more to the service. And for me the most important part is the users themselves.

Like I said before, I have been able to find users that are knowledgeable and post interesting stuff.
When the Olympics were going on, I found people covering different aspects of the events. Now during the political campaigns, I see posts about issues.

I have been using Zemanta on my blog for a while and really like the professionalism it adds to my posts with little to no effort. I am very new to the blogging world, but I expect this will be a part of my posting routine.

I hope the markets settle down soon, you need something to keep you busy.
