If you use HP's Snapfish to share and organize your photos, you might be interested to know that there's now a Snapfish iPhone app that makes it easy to upload photos to the site. The free app lets you batch-upload a bunch of photos from your phone at once, and you can also use it browse and share the photos that are already on your account. Snapfish might not be the cool kid in the online ...

Aviary, the cool web-based suite of image editing tools -- and more -- now costs nothing to use. Thanks to a new round of funding, full access to the web apps with the funky bird names no longer costs $24.99. All subscribers who signed up in the past month will get refunds, and previous subscribers will no longer be billed, according to TechCrunch. Aviary's competition is the extremely pricey ...

Pop quiz: what's the largest photo site on the web? Flickr? Photobucket? Picasa? Nope, it's Facebook. Like me, you might find that fact a bit surprising, since we don't immediately think of Facebook as a photo sharing site -- that's just one of its features. What's even more interesting when thinking about Facebook as a photo sharing site is that it has a built-in permission system that says ...

Even though Apple's MobileMe Gallery is already iPhone-friendly, today they've taken it a step further with the release of a free iPhone application: MobileMe Gallery [iTunes Link]. The goal is to make it even easier to access and use their photo sharing service. With the application, you can view your own gallery (including password protected areas) but also view movies and photos that have ...

Facebook is the biggest photo sharing site in the world, so it's pretty likely your friends have some photos posted there. The thing is, nobody's pretending that browsing photos on Facebook is fast or user-friendly. In fact, the whole experience totally, in the parlance of our times, sucks. That's why you should get PhotoBook, a zippy, great-looking Facebook photo browser for Mac. PhotoBook ...

From the massively-nerdy-but-really-quite-cool news department, I bring you the coolest thing I've seen since unwrapping my presents on Christmas Day. 120 years of amazing discoveries, eye-opening editorial and mind-expanding stories form The Complete National Geographic. Maps, stories and every single damn photo, all lovingly reproduced in 'stunning high resolution'... and distributed on a hard ...

Maintaining current backups of your important data is always a good idea and apps which make that task easier are always welcome. What about all your web accounts - places like Facebook, Photobucket, and Flickr where you've been posting all those photos. Or Google Docs and Zoho? Backupify is a dead-simple way to archive all those services from a central location. *Until January 31, 2010 ...

Of all the novelty photo apps we've seen on the iPhone, Younicorn might be the weirdest. It turns anyone into a glowing, psychedelic unicorn, and it's based on the simple philosophy that everyone looks better with a long, pointy horn growing out of their head. Younicorn is to photos what Cornify is to websites, but better. There are several backgrounds to choose from, including sparkles, ...

Picasa, Google's photo sharing service, has allowed collaborative photo albums on the web for months, but the Picasa desktop app is just now getting this feature. Now, when you upload an album using the desktop, you can assign editing privileges to other users. That way, you can easily collect everyone's photos of an event in the same shared album. With collaborative albums, you can either give ...

Facebook is the most popular photo sharing site in the world, but its photo upload tool has always been clunky and frustrating to use. No longer, thanks to a prototype New Photo Uploader that will hopefully displace the current upload tool very, very soon. Instead of the slow, tough-to-navigate system that loads up thumbnails of every. photo. in. your. pictures. folder. by default (ugh!), this ...

Yfrog, one of the most popular photo-posting services for Twitter, is making a move into video and offering webcam support. You can record and tweet, right from the Yfrog site. To get started, check the space where you'd normally see the option to upload an image or enter a URL: the new webcam option has been added right next to those. When the video window pops up, you can record a video, take a ...

Flickr, one of the most popular photo sharing sites on the web, has always let users organize their own photos. Being able to group your work into sets is one of the site's core features. Surprisingly, though, Flickr has never offered a way to make sets of other users' public photos, until now. Flickr Galleries allow you to build collections of photos from around Flickr, with a maximum of 18 ...

So Yahoo has finally given the iPhone a hearty high five for being the most popular camera on Flickr and produced a native Flickr app. There's not a heck of a lot to it, but you probably wouldn't expect there to be, really. After all, you're probably on Flickr to either upload and share photos or look at what other people have submitted. The app does both of those things pretty well. For added ...

As someone who has used Windows as my primary operating system for years, I got very comfortable with modding various parts of the user interface. One of the things that was most fun to change is the startup image - my favorite was a very official looking FBI splash screen that made it look like you were logging onto a government computer. Since switching to the Mac platform, I've been surprised ...

If you're anxious for Snow Leopard to ship, you might be excited to know that you can grab copies of the built-in desktop images, thanks to the developer previews and a crafty blogger over at Uneasy Silence. While there are four images out of the set of 35 that feature leopards, the rest of the images run the gamut from beautiful landscape photography to classic pieces of art. The images are ...
