Today twitter has reminded me of why I dislike how it’s managed. With the big Mac World event and CES twitter is down, for the count. The problem is that these crafty people have decided that rather than take the site down completely they would let it lag.
As a consequence of this lag the site has been rendered redundant but don’t worry. Other sites like plurk, friendfeed and facebook are still standing.
Picasa is now available for mac and it works well. It works so well it took just 30 seconds for me to crash the application.
On a more serious note Picasa is an interesting application that auto indexes all of your pictures in the Pictures folder and indexes your images within the application. As a result you have easy access to those images. At the same time as it can do those things it also makes uploading images to picasa on the web, to blogger e-mail and more.
What I like most about this application is it’s ability to read geotags to place images on the map both locally and on the website. The weakness though is that it’s per album for the moment, rather than for every image at once. It would be fun to see all my images from around here scattered on the map.
