I’ve been lookgng for a sensible way of storing all my photos offsite, as well as being able to share them with friends and family.
Like other people I know, I’m very nervous about keeping all my photos in digital form, taking regular DVD backups of them, and copying them all to multiple machines. People recommended webshots, and I signed up, but I’m still waiting for my email with my authorisation, so I guess they dont want me..
I’ve seen lots of references to Flickr in many blogs (and indirectly from here as well). So I decided to sign up for a pro account. There are so many good features such as viewing slideshows, ability to download high resolution versions of your pictures (unlike many other photo sites you can upload your images in their original form with no loss of quality). The pro account is cheap, and provides 1 gig of upload a month, and unlimited storage.
Here is my new Flickr photo page, although as yet you wont find anything there (most of my pictures are private), I’ll be uploading more public photos over the coming weeks.
I also like the way that Flickr can interface directly to MoveableType, and the fact that I can photoblog directly to Flickr by sending an email to flickr from from my phone.
The desktop upload utility needs a little work on it (like ability to upload directly to a photoset), but generally for a beta, its looking good..
Mind mapping, the technique our software is based on, was originally done with pen-and-paper. With the advent of the latest tablet PCs, mapping has come full circle as maps can once again be built ‘by hand’. But this time on a digital piece of paper to combine the best of both worlds: the freedom of the pen and the memory and flexibility of computers.
