Today I’ve decided to switch from Flickr to Picasa Web Album.

My decision was forced by Flickr Free Account’s limits:

• 100 MB monthly upload limit (10MB per photo)
• 3 sets
• Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
• Post any of your photos in up to 10 group pools
• Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)

I could accept 100 MB monthly upload limit, but the Photostream limitation to the 200 most recent images is very unacceptable.

So I’ve switched to Picasa Web Album, very well implemented Web Album that offer:

• 1 GB of free storage
• No Photos size limits
• Great tool for uploading Photos and Videos
• Great iphoto’s plugin for Mac Users

For now I’ve not found a great badge for display some images on blog, but I will continue the search :-)

If you want take a look to my Picasa Web Album go there: http://picasaweb.google.com/alezzandro

bye,

Today I’m happy to have discovered: Yahoo! Go

http://mobile.yahoo.com/go

Before discovering this GREAT App every time I want to surf on ebay, read the latest news, TRY to upload images on flickr or simply check the weather, I must open my mobile browser on my Nokia N73, and navigate to the various bookmarks to find wanted websites and hope them works!! :-)

Now I login into “Yahoo! Go” having all I need, weather, rss feeds, mails, photo upload on flickr, ebay, wikipedia, currency converter and more!! Much more!

So what can I say too? You must TRY IT!

On “Yahoo! Go” there are also some maps software but I prefer always to use “Google Maps” for mobile and its great function of “auto-locator” that can determines your position thanks to used gsm/gprs network.

As you can see I’ve added the flickr icon on right bar, by clicking on it you can see my photo album updated directly from my Nokia phone!

brb!

Stay tuned,

Alessandro.
