I’ve been using the free Photo management program “Picasa”   for the management of my photos for ages.

It’s the best application I’ve used for removing red eye, sending pics by email, making albums, etc. etc.

The latest version, 3.5 now adds many new features like geotagging and face recognition.

I LOVE face recognition. Picasa scans your hard drive for photos, and presents you with the faces. You then start putting names to the faces, and google will start building albums of the photos where a particular face appears.

As you provide feedback on the selections it makes, it gets more and more accurate with its identification.

After the process finishes, you can click on someones name, and see all the photos in which that person appears. You can then export these to a folder, make a slideshow and upload it to YouTube, or perform various other tasks with them.

If you are already using Picasa – grab the upgrade.

If you’ve never used it before, download it and prepare to have all your photo management problems solved.

Download it free from www.Picasa.com

A while ago, I received an email about a new Web 2.0 related product by Dr Joe Vitale, (Doctor Fire) who is a well known Internet Marketer. I haven’t bought anything from Dr. Joe before, and the sales letter did its work so I dutifully punched in my card number.

Oh my. (more…)

Over a year ago, I tried out a funny little web application called Twitter.

After playing with it briefly, I decided that it didn’t really make sense, and so I forgot about it.

After all, why would you want to send out little 140 character messages about what you were doing?

The buzz about twitter kept going, and recently turned into a deafening roar.

After taking another look at it, I realised that I had made a mistake about twitter. It’s actually VERY useful if you use it properly. Especially now it’s now reached the point where SO MANY great people are using it. (more…)

It’s a bit difficult to tell whether your computer is protected from outside attack, or whether anyone can get through your defences and select from the smorgasbord of data on your hard drive.

After all, your router just sits and flashes lights at you. You don’t REALLY know whether it’s effective. (more…)

20 minutes.

That’s how long it takes for harmful programs to start finding your unprotected Windows computer on the internet. And install themselves. (more…)

If you are a Google Adwords advertiser, an email like this would certainly get your attention:

Dear Google AdWords Customer,

We were unable to process your payment. Your ads will be suspended soon unless we can process your payment. To prevent your ads from being suspended, please update your payment information. (more…)

The creativity of scammers and spammers never ceases to amaze me.

If you get an email headed something like:
URGENT-dispute of Domain name and Internet Brand/China

I’d recommend that you just ignore it.
This conpany (whose message appears below) is using fear tactics on domain name owners to get them to register uneccessary domain names in China – probably for a huge fee. (more…)
