Drop Gallery is a good idea

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

How would you like to have the ability to drag and drop images into a folder and know their next stop is your online gallery? It sounds appealing, doesn’t it?

This is what you get with DropGallery. So far, it’s only available for Windows, but they promise applications will be coming soon for Mac as well as the iPhone and Android.

If the convenience of an application such as DropBox is any indication, DropGallery will be a valuable tool for many photographers.

You can use up to 2GB of the service for free.  If you like the service, you can upgrade to 50GB for $4.99 a month.  The service plans also offer backup service.

This service can be used for many professional and amateur applications.  Set the galleries to either public or private, which will give photographers the option of collaborating with other photographers, art directors and editors.

This is a new application with promise.  Before long, I’m sure this technology will be integrated into other applications such as FlickrPhotoshelter or Smugmug.

New and noteworthy

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Google now allows you to follow updates on any Web site even if it doesn’t have a really simple syndication (RSS) feed. In my opinion, RSS is one of the most underutilized and powerful Web tools available.  Google has upped the game by making every site an RSS feed through their Google Reader.  I’m thinking about my competitor’s Web site as a great test for the new application.  If you want to do the same, take a Web site and place it in the add a subscription box in Google reader. Google will make note that it is not a traditional RSS feed and ask if you would like one.

Speaking of RSS: If you are interested in receiving feeds via e-mail, even if the option is not provided, feedmyinbox.com seems like an easy solution.  They offer free and premium services.

Astronaut Soichi Noguchi is sharing his images on twitpics from the space station http://twitpic.com/119les.

Citrify is a clean online photography editing platform. It is quick and easy to use. It offers a premium version, but the free version has all the basics you would expect, plus some useful filters and effects.

Seed.com: This is a new site from AOL designed to give writers and photographers opportunities to be published on its network of properties.   They offer a list of assignments on various subjects that pay from $25 to $100.

Seed.com offers three types of  license agreements for your work. Please read the terms of service before you send a piece.  In the rights-grab environment we live in, I’ve seen much worse.  Decide for yourself.

Woorank.com is a site I mention on the podcast. It’s a new search engine optimization evaluation option.
