the construct :: weblog

If you have not heard of or seen Picasa or Hello.com as of yet, I urge you to go check them out. They are both ownd by Google and they are awesome tools to say the least.

I had heard of Picasa before, yet had not used the program. It is completely free and they most useful photo/media organizer I have seen recently. It has a very clean interface, and it is extremely easy to use, yet still has powerful features. Anyone can use it to edit pictures or just keep them all organized. I have only been using it for about 10 minutes and I love it already!

As for Hello.com it is equally awesome, yet in a different way. It is kind of a competitor to flickr.com in that it is basically a “community photo social network thingy.” You can use Hello to post photos to your Blogger.comweblog or just to chat and share photos with others. Compared to flikr, flickr wins for me simply because you have to download a program to use Hello. Flickr is all web based and extremely powerful.

It’s crazy to see so many tools to use in this digital media age. You can have a weblog, post photos to it, chat with anyone in the world etc etc… and all for free! The world is internet driven.
