Photo tools

As you can see, I have discovered how to put photos in my blog. This is quite a cool tool, and I'm quite impressed by it as it saves on hefty uploads. It's called Hello from Picasa, and it's sort of IM. Hello lets you talk to people whilst sharing photos with them, and you can also use it to 'chat' to your Blog and dump photos into your posts, including ones you have already published. The Picasa bit of it is a photo management tool which is quite funky as well. It's all owned by Google so it's fairly seamless with Blogger, which they also own.

I can see the IM side of it turning into video etc quite shortly so you can watch a film with friends and chat about it whilst you watch even if you are on different sides of the planet. They have this in Korea already with the shopping channels etc. We are so far behind, it's untrue!

Oh, and what's this I read from Esme about 1Gbps in Hong Kong? Oh god........and the price for their entry level 10Mbps service? $16 US a month. Don't give me tons of excuses about high rise blocks and the ease of installations, as that's just saying it will cost us slightly more to do it. It doesn't tell me why we aren't even close to this level of connectivity. When your election candidate knocks on your door, or you see them in the street, ask them how they are going to help us compete with the rest of the world.
