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

I’ll start off by discussing the easiest method – the  non-bank service providers. (more…)

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…)

Strangely enough, the most important Internet Skill you can ever develop has nothing to do with the internet.

Or Technology.

Or Computers.

This simple test will tell you if a domain name you’re considering is going to be effective.

It’s getting more and more difficult to find a good .com domain name. Pretty well every word in the dictionary has already been dot-commed. So a lot of people (including some highly paid consultants who should know better) are coming up with some really stupid ones.

Because they just don’t think. (more…)

How Many Home Pages are there on your website?

The old concept of having a main home page, and then links to many other subsidiary pages to find what you want was the traditional way of building a website.

So if someone was searching for “ferrets as pets”, they would arrive at the top level of a website about ferrets. They would then search through several layers of menus – to eventually find a page about having ferrets as pets. (more…)
