You Oughta Be in Pictures #91

I like that the BigHugeLabs offers a free photo album. I will send for the coupon. Also liked the puzzle-maker.

Not interested in Zombify Yourself. Yuck!!!

BigHugeLabs message: Photo resolution was too low--will have to try loading another picture.

You Oughta Be in Pictures #91: Fun with Photos

I like befunky's Oil Painting and Impressionists Effects. Your photos can end up looking like they were hand-touched by Vincent Van Gogh. In Vincent's case it would be post-impressionist. Also enjoyed playing around with the Goodies.

You Oughta Be In Pictures #90: Sharing Photos

On one hand, I am reluctant to put my pictures on Facebook but, on the other, I do find myself going to Facebook to look at other people's pictures. I am also amazed when someone I haven't heard from for quite a while makes a comment on my Facebook account about a picture posted there.

My preference for photosharing sights are the ones that have products such as scrapbooks for purchase. This is the way for working Grandmas to have those books with all the latest photos to share with their friends without having to spend hours to put them together. I plan to start working on a flickr photobook of my grandchildren.

Google #88: Wave, Buzz and Mobile

I do not use any collaboration tools.

I do not have a smart phone but would be interested in getting one. Google maps would come in handy for navigation and finding restaurants, hotels, real time traffic, etc. I also like the Search option as well as the gmail option. YouTube just might be a little too distracting.

Google #87: Google Reader

I do not currently use a feed reader. When we did the first round of iHCPL I did subscribe to several news feeds but later discontinued them.

I subscribed to the feeds for Harris County Public Library and Fox News. Subscribing is simple. I plan to give it a try but do tend to like going to look for the information when I want it.
