<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Anyone been to Komart before?</p>
<p><a href="http://thetsundere.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/komart/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475287_e5da78822a.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>I visited it for the first time recently after having din dins at the Outback Steakhouse <!--more-->(anyone been there either? Noticed how they&#8217;ve changed their &#8217;style&#8217; as of lately?) Anyway, although it says &#8216;Asian&#8217; I think that 97% of the products were specifically Korean. Managed to pick up a few nice things ^^</p>
<p><a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475284_80a751bd1f.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475284_80a751bd1f.jpg" alt="" width="334" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Okay this photo is from dinner at Outback but I just had to put it in because this drink is the <span style="text-decoration:underline;"> best thing ever</span>. It&#8217;s a Cherry Limeade and I highly recommend you try one if you have not done so already! ^^</p>
<p><a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475285_1d09138c5d.jpg"><img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475285_1d09138c5d.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>It was packed with red glace cherries that were sooo good. They tasted like red <a href="https://www.dylanscandybar.com/resources/dylans/images/products/processed/301-Starburst.a.zoom.jpg" target="_blank">Starburst.</a> Okay enough with this drink, I think I&#8217;ll move on&#8230; (By the way I&#8217;m not endorsing Outback I just can&#8217;t get over how great this drink is, orz)</p>
<p><a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475291_4cf61df8f0.jpg"><img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475291_4cf61df8f0.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="319" /></a></p>

<p>Got super excited when I found they sold bento boxes at this place. I purchased the red one above with the layers inside. ^^ Now I just have to learn how to cook the food that actually fits in them&#8230;</p>

<p>Got one of those Melona ice creams too! (and no, I&#8217;m not talking about <em><a href="http://img33.imageshack.us/i/queensblademelona.png/" target="_blank">this</a></em> Melona)</p>
<p><a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475301_1a35e27076.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/8475301_1a35e27076.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="319" /></a></p>

<p>Mmm. Was actually really good&#8230; straight up it&#8217;s just melon-flavoured ice cream.</p>
<p>But remember, children:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-405" title="luckystarpopsicle1" src="http://thetsundere.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/luckystarpopsicle1.png" alt="luckystarpopsicle1" width="423" height="238" /></p>

<p>On another note, as of today I&#8217;ve started trying out <a href="http://www.zooomr.com/thetsundere/" target="_blank">Zooomr</a> because I&#8217;m too lazy (and cheap) to upgrade to Pro on Flickr. Zooomr is basically a knockoff of Flickr which is convenient, since what I needed was a high quality uploader that functions almost identically to Flickr. Still miss Flickr though&#8230; I&#8217;ll probably upgrade anyway. Anyone else heard of/tried Zooomr?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I almost forgot. A certain Ojou-sama arrived in the mail just over a day ago! xD</p>

<description><![CDATA[BibliothekarInnen in Duschhauben, das ist doch mal was anderes &#8230; Bei der Gestaltung von Bücher]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/libraryman/698994792/">BibliothekarInnen in Duschhauben</a>, das ist doch mal was anderes &#8230; <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/libraryman/698994792/"></a></p>
<p>Bei der Gestaltung von Bücherwagen findet man durchaus die eine oder andere Anregung im Netz, zum Beispiel:</p>
<p><a href="//www.ipernity.com/doc/rasch2000/3478965">bunte Bücherwagen</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56354867@N00/153785919/">U.S. Variante</a> oder die <a href="//www.flickr.com/photos/shaleza/2588269567/">Drachenversion </a>.</p>
<p>Jetzt warten wir ungeduldig, bis unsere Bilder in Flickr erscheinen.</p>
<p>Leider waren wir bei Flickr nicht erfolgreich und sind daher auf  Zooomr ausgewichen. Wir haben dort einige Fotos öffentlich eingestellt und mit Bibliothek2009 getagt. Es hat eine Weile gedauert, bis ich herausgefunden habe, wie man die Bilder tagt. Es geht gleich zu Anfang oder im Nachhinein, indem man auf das jeweilige Foto klickt und unter &#8220;Label&#8221; die Schlagworte eingibt. Hier ein Foto von unseren <a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/7838513_46d7e7fc74.jpg">Bücherschätzen </a></p>
<p>Besonders angetan bin ich von diesem <a href="http://static.zooomr.com/images/7838523_a67537cb62.jpg">Buchdeckel.</a></p>

<div><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>The Passing of Michael Jackson</strong></span></div>
<p>I have received many emails and phone calls from various people and  organizations asking for a comment on the passing of Michael Jackson  (”Al-hamdu Lillaah, innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji’oon“ (‘Praise  be to Allaah, Verily To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return’) and  whether or not he was a Muslim. For some of you, you know that Michael  was close to Islam, many of his advisors were/are Muslims and have been  for years. He was always a guest of the various royal families, and has  Muslims in his family. It was stated that he had taken his Shahada as  recently as 6 months ago during a recording session. I have refrained from saying anything definitive for the following  reasons and it gives me an opportunity to address some other issues  that have disturbed me for many years about Muslims and the state of  our collective iman and practice of this deen. First, the family has requested that everyone respect their  grieving and privacy at this time and who are we to demand answers  of/to such a personal and private nature at ANY time! Next, was he Muslim? Allahu Alim!!! Whether he was or not, did he live in such a way that you would  know it? Whether his lifestyle exhibited it or not, if he chose to live in  such a way that you would not know, or felt that he wasn’t, wasn’t that  his choice? Does he owe anyone any open display of his beliefs? How  many ”Muslims“ do you know that you can tell they are a Muslim by their  lifestyle? Does anyone really know by what you observe outwardly? Would  that outward appearance allow you to know for certain and swear that  person is or is not a ”Muslim“? Can you ”see and know“ that persons  practice of their Deen from observing their outward appearance? I  suggest that no one can factually! Again, Allahu Alim!!! Which brings me to the issue that I have had with the state of our  collective practice of this Deen. Having been involved in this business of representing, managing,  promoting, and advising many of the worlds most recognized Superstar  professional athletes, celebrities and entertainers, I am intimately  engaged in the reality of ”hero worship“ and the effects that it has on  the public. To a great extent, I created much of ”how it is done“ and  originated the field over 35 years ago including the founding of Nike’s  ”Pro Club“ which was the first group of professional athletes signed to  exclusive contracts to endorse the brand. This was the precursor and  beginnings of the Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James  branding divisions of today. But I digress. It never ceases to amaze and perturb me whenever I encounter  someone that wants to find ”something“ to ”look up to/worship“ in a  ”celebrity personality“ being ”Muslim“ just because they are a  recognized celebrity. They approach this phenomena as if it somehow is  going to make them ”better“ in someway. We have witnessed the fervor  that took hold of the Muslim communities when it was rumored that  Denzel Washington had reverted/converted to Islam while prepping for  ”Malcolm X“ and the same for Will Smith with ”Ali“, Princess Di in her  relationship with Dodi al-Fayed, Samuel L. Jackson, O. J. Simpson, Mike  Tyson, Ice Cube and M.C. Hammer many times because of his relationship  with me and supporting Islamic events, and on and on. I know some  Shaykhs and Imams that have performed the alleged shahadah’s and I  could not state with any certainty that the celebrity was ”Muslim“. What is this fascination with and what do we get out of these  ”celebrities“ being Muslim, even if  they are/were? Is it the potential  advantages for dawah that might be extracted from it’s proper use in  marketing that fact? Does it somehow give you more ”pride“ in being  ”Muslim“ because the ”celebrity is “Muslim”? Does it make you and/or  the Deen of al-Islam more acceptable to some segment of society that  you want to appease and be accepted by? Does this “celebrity” somehow  make you a “better Muslim” in some way? Does this celebrity make your  prayer, and/or service of sacrifice for Allah(swt) possible, easier or  fulfilled in some way? Are you going to receive some additional  blessings because they might be “Muslim”? Do you gain any blessings  because they are a “good” Muslim and/or do you also share/suffer the  punishment if they are not “good” Muslims? You see, ALL this is useless when it comes to you and Allah(swt)  just as it is useless to them when it comes to them and Allah(swt). If at some point Michael’s family chooses to state that he was  Muslim, and it has been rumored for years while there are other members  of his family that openly proclaim they are, how can it help anyone  then? There are many “celebrity Muslims” that are alive and well here  today that I don’t see how that fact is going to get anyone into  Jannah. This brings me to the point. IT’S NOT!!! It will, at best, only have a microscopic marginal effect on your  existence and only Allah(swt) will know that. But if it makes someone  feel good about being “Muslim” then that is a positive that we all will  take. But there is something patently wrong with the “hero worship”  associated with celebrities in any form, of any stature, and this is  from someone that helped create the business. There is a slogan from President Barack Obama’s campaign that when  modified is so apropos for this concern. “You are the Muslim You that  have been Waiting For ALL THIS TIME!!!” What one needs, this will not  come from anyone else, not your Shaykhs, Imams, nor parents! We need to  stop looking for something in someone, something, anyone, anything  else, that we can and must ALL inevitably find in ourselves thru  Allah(swt), Quran, the Sunnah of prophet Mohammad(saas), Hadith and our  practice of this Deen of al-Islam. I pray Allah(swt) that I have  answered those questions asked of me, insha’Allah.

<div><strong>Muslims Doing Great Dawah In SF/Oakland Bay  Area</strong></div>
<p>The Free Food give-aways with KPFA Radio Station in Berkeley has  been INCREDIBLE SUCCESSES masha’Allah. You can listen to or download  the broadcast of the PSA’s for the Free Food Donations by clicking the  links below. Everyone came from miles around was treated with as much  food and flowers as they could pack, including the staff at Pacifica  Radio Corporate and KPFA al’hamdu’lillah. They now want to do this  donation on a weekly basis after the overwhelming back-to-back-to back  successes of the previous public food give-aways that had people  calling and coming from as far away as Santa Barbara and north/east to  Oregon and Nevada. There are no words to express the sincere gratitude  and “Thanks” conveyed on the part of the public and the employees and  staff at Pacifica Radio and KPFA. JOB WELL DONE!!! These events was sponsored by Masjid al-Islam, Masjidul Waritheen,  Oakland Islamic Center, Masjid Tasbeeh, The Muslim Community Center of  San Francisco, Jama’atus Salaam, Go Wireless, Emad’s Tune Up, and The  Justice For Ali Campaign- all of Oakland. These type of promotions are  impossible without their involvement in these efforts, insha’Allah.  This is incredible Dawah! Jazzak Allah Khair Khayrun. The “Thank You’s” to the Masajids and Muslims businesses for their  invaluable support in providing all the food and floral arrangements  with 100’s of bouquets of flowers and more for the “Nadra Foster  Benefit” at La Pena Restaurant in Berkeley was aired live on the “Full  Circle Show” with Host Joy Moore on Friday, June 19, 2009 at 7:00 PM.  Jazzak Allah Khair Khayrun. Oddly enough, while the broadcast was being  aired, unbeknownst to the crew, Khalil Yasin was there providing food  and refreshments for them for their enjoyment after the show. They  still have not stop thanking him and the above mentioned parties. You  can listen to or download the broadcast of the “Thank You’s” mentioned  above by clicking on the links below. Be sure and spread the word to  support and acknowledge the Dawah these masajids and businesses are  doing for our communities and Islam. On several occassions I have pointed out to many people at  Pacifica/KPFA, a young man standing next to Snoop Dogg in a framed  picture proudly displayed on the main wall outside their main  conference room, from a rally to save Tookie Williams from execution  held in November 2005. That young man is Imam Abu Qadir al-Amin. They  were even more humbled when they acknowledged that he and the Muslim  Community Center were one of the sponsors for this event. You can listen to or download the broadcasts of the PSA’s, the  promos and “Thank You’s” for the Free Food Donations aired on the list  of Pacifica stations, with over 100 affiliate stations worldwide, by  clicking on the links below or on our blog at:  <a href="http://superstarmanagement.wordpress.com/audio-and-new-submissions/">http://superstarmanagement.wordpress.com/audio-and-new-submissions/</a> 6-24-09 KPFA Jazz Passages <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/931o3glvvf">“Thank You’s” To Masjid  Tasbeeh, Masjid Jama’atus Salaam, and the San Francisco Muslim  Community Center, Go Wireless Mobile, Justice For Ali Campaign and  Emad’s Tune Up</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/931o3glvvf">http://www.box.net/shared/931o3glvvf</a> KPFA Full Circle <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/oir0nffn6a">“Thank  You’s” To Masjid al-Islam, Masjidul Waritheen, and the Oakland Islamic  Center, Go Wireless Mobile and Emad’s Tune Up</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/oir0nffn6a">http://www.box.net/shared/oir0nffn6a</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/vtaovgeylt">Justice For Ali- KPFA  Broadcast 5-2-09</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/vtaovgeylt">http://www.box.net/shared/vtaovgeylt</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/cqqbke0tco">Justice For Ali- KPFA  Broadcast 6-13-09</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/cqqbke0tco">http://www.box.net/shared/cqqbke0tco</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/z9aekhpb1p">Masjid al-Islam  Fundraiser- KPFA Broadcast 5-16-09</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/z9aekhpb1p">http://www.box.net/shared/z9aekhpb1p</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3emuadga83"> Masjid al-Islam Fundraiser- KPFA Broadcast 5-9-09</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3emuadga83">http://www.box.net/shared/3emuadga83</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/64rm8fjhx1"> Masjid al-Islam, Masjidul Waritheen, Oakland Islamic Center “Thank  You’s ”</a>- KPFA Broadcast 6-6-09 <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/64rm8fjhx1">http://www.box.net/shared/64rm8fjhx1</a> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/r7f9nke7gt">Masjid al-Islam,  Masjidul Waritheen, Oakland Islamic Center “Free Food Give Away  Donation”</a> &#8211; KPFA Broadcast 5-30-09 <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/r7f9nke7gt">http://www.box.net/shared/r7f9nke7gt</a> <a href="http://superstarmanagement.wordpress.com/audio-and-new-submissions/">DaveyD  has a new video up on this page for Imam Jamil with Martin Luther King  Jr. </a> Peace,  Abdul-Jalil (510) 638-0808</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Es ist schon über ein Jahr her, als ich die beiden <a href="http://stormcloud10.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/vergleich-zwischen-flickr-und-zooomr/">Bilderdienste verglichen</a> habe. Durch <a href="http://stormcloud10.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/wofur-braucht-man-gps-logger/" target="_blank">die Anschaffung</a> eines GPS-Loggers hatte ich nun die Gelegenheit, mir besonders die Geotagging-Funktionen nochmals näher anzuschauen.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Flickr:</span></strong></h3>
<p>Flickr hat mich zunächst verwirrt: Die Geo-Informationen wurden zwar übermittelt, die Bilder aber nicht auf der Karte angezeigt. Habe ich dann auf der Seite des Bildes auf<em> Zu meiner Karte hinzufügen</em> geklickt, wurde die korrekte Position aus den Metadaten ausgelesen und als Vorschlag angezeigt. Der Standort konnte dort zusammen mit diversen Einstellungen für die Privatsphäre (wer darf das Bild auf der Karte sehen?) bestätigt werden. Bei vielen Bildern wird das natürlich mit der Zeit zu aufwändig.</p>
<p><strong>Tipp:</strong> In den persönlichen Einstellungen gibt es eine Option, die man aktivieren kann, um hochgeladene Bilder automatisch auf die Karte zu bringen, ohne sie ständig von Hand dort positionieren zu müssen. Diese findet ihr unter <em>Sie</em> → <em>Ihr Account</em> → <em>Datenschutz und Berechtigungen</em>. Wenn ihr ein gutes Stück nach unten scrollt, befindet sich die entsprechende Funktion unter der Überschrift <em>Standardeinstellungen für neue Uploads</em> beim Punkt <em>Exif-Standortdaten improtieren</em>. Soweit so gut.</p>
<p>Yahoo verwendet zum Geotagging immer noch sein eigenes Karten- und Bildmaterial. Die Karten sind recht genau (soweitich das für unsere ländliche Gegend beurteilen kann), die Satellitenaufnahmen hingegen immer noch sehr unschön und nicht weit aufgelöst. Bei den untersten zwei Zoomstufen erscheint die Meldung, dass Material nicht verfügbar sein, so dass man weiter herauszoomen muss. Das macht natürlich die Vorzüge von Geotagging zunichte, wenn man nicht auf den Satellitenfotos erkennen kann, wo genau im Dorf oder Wald die Bilder gemacht wurden.</p>
<p>Global gesehen gefällt die Übersicht <em>Meine Karte</em> schon eher. Auf der Weltkarte wird durch mit Zahlen versehene Punkte angezeigt, wo man wieviele Bilder gemacht hat. Mittels Zoom wird die Ansicht weiter ausdifferenziert. Ein Klick auf solch einen Punkt zeigt die geschossenen Bilder in einer Sprechblase an.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Zooomr:</strong></span></h3>
<p>Zooomr kann hier seine Stärke voll ausspielen. Der Punkt <em>Geo</em> neben dem Bild befindet sich in der Liste ganz oben. Ein Klick darauf klappt ein kleines Google-Maps-Fenster auf, wo das Bild mit den von Google gewohnten Ansichten gezeigt wird. Das Bild wird dabei verkleinert in einer Sprechblase angezeigt. Ein kleines &#8220;+x&#8221; gibt an, wie viele Bilder noch von dieser Position aus aufgenommen wurden.</p>
<p>Ganz klein und leicht zu übersehen befinden sich über der Karte rechts zwei Buttons. Der Rechte zeigt dabei die Position auf einer größeren Google-Karte an. Andere Bilder aus der Gegend werden gleich mit angezeigt. Feine Sache!</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Fazit:</strong></span></h3>
<p>Auch ein Jahr später hat Zooomr im Bereich Geotagging immer noch die Nase vorn. Besonders die schöneren und detaillierteren Satellitenaufnahmen von Google sind das große Plus aber auch die Anzeige der Position direkt neben dem Foto. Kein Wechseln in eine andere Ansicht, wie es bei Flickr der Fall ist.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>P.S.:</strong></span></h3>
<p>Speziell auf Geotagging ausgerichtet ist der Dienst <a href="http://de.locr.com/" target="_blank">locr</a>. Ich habe jetzt nicht das Bedürfnis, diesen Dienst auszuprobieren, wer aber Lust hat, kann sich bei mir bis 01.07.09 melden. Demjenigen überlasse ich gerne meinen 1-Monat-Pro-Account-Gutschein, der bei meinem GPS-Logger dabei war.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is a deviation from my blog trajectory, but bear with me.</p>
<p>I believe in many things.  Among them, that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network">social networking</a> / <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0">Web 2.0</a> (or whatever we call it today) technologies can be used for the <a href="http://social-networking-tagging.suite101.com/article.cfm/facebook_etiquette_tips">purposes of good rather than evil</a>.  Especially in a manufacturing or process industries setting.  I’ll post about that sometime soon.</p>
<p>Obviously, I experiment in whatever media seem to be on the leading or bleeding edge and call it “work”.  I just need to get paid for it.  Right…<!--more--></p>
<p>Anyhow, when <a href="http://www.scobleizer.com">Robert Scoble</a> announced a late breaking development about a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photowalking">photowalk</a> excursion in the Bay Area, I figured I’d try it out.  It would be a fun, in person (<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=IRL">IRL</a>!), experience because it combined the geeky things we all like.</p>
<p>While I’ve talked to Robert before (he wouldn’t remember), this time it would be in person and I would also get to meet the pre-eminent photographer, <a href="http://www.zooomr.com/about/">Zooomr CEO</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/">Flickr heavy-hitter</a>, <a href="http://thomashawk.com/">Thomas Hawk</a> (spoiler alert: though it may seem so, he doesn’t have a camera permanently attached to his head &#8211; but he does have a light meter implant).</p>
<p>In short, I had a great time, got to take lots of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greggerca/sets/72157617402653210/">photos of wonderful machines</a>, and talk for an extended period of time with the Scobleizer, Thomas and many others about all things photo and geeky.  It’s also good to know they’re both magnanimous, passionate and engaged.  Probably because they get to do what they love.</p>
<p>Another big plus was that the other photowalkers were great new people to meet and talk with.  I got to have a wide range of interesting conversations throughout the day.</p>
<p><strong>So what?</strong></p>
<p>The subsequent events are still unfolding.</p>
<p>What it has done is ever so slightly raise my visibility in some of the social networking sites.  It has also validated of some of the insights I had been piecing together over the years of my work in the tech industry and Web 2.0 field.</p>
<p>I would love to think that I would have been able to build a following on my own just based on the sheer quality of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greggerca/">my photos</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/greggerca">tweets</a>, blog, and interaction on <a href="http://beta.friendfeed.com/greggerca">Friendfeed</a>.</p>
<p>Sure.</p>
<p>In lieu of that, what I now have is 30 new Twitter followers (and reciprocal followings), 10 new Friendfeed subscribers (both directions), and a sudden interest in my Flickr stream from the event.</p>
<p><strong>Opportunity is transient</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, with the prolific nature of both <a href="http://beta.friendfeed.com/scobleizer">Robert</a> and <a href="http://beta.friendfeed.com/thomashawk">Thomas</a>’ activity in the social networking world, the moment of benefit for me has long since passed (over 2 hours have passed since the event).</p>
<p>But, if I’ve somehow just barely increased my credibility in their eyes, perhaps my next blog post, Tweet, Flickr photo, or comment on Friendfeed will result in a <a href="http://valleywag.gawker.com/tag/web-2%270-to-english/">pathway to riches and fame</a>.</p>
<p>Or <a href="http://internet-famous.urbanup.com/525833">Internet famous</a>.  Until then, at least <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com">we can all has cheezburger</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Dieser Tage habe ich mir einen lange gehegten Wunsch erfüllt: Ich habe mir einen GPS-Logger -  oder ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Dieser Tage habe ich mir einen lange gehegten Wunsch erfüllt: Ich habe mir einen GPS-Logger -  oder auch GPS-Recorder genannt &#8211; zugelegt.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Im ersten Moment erscheint es sinnlos sich so ein Gerät zu kaufen. Man kann damit nicht (oder nur bedingt) navigieren, es sagt mir nicht wo ich hinfahren soll und hilft mir auch nicht, wenn ich staubedingt eine Ausweichstrecke suchen muss. Daher durfte ich mir in letzter Zeit nicht selten die Frage anhören, warum ich also mein Geld für soetwas ausgebe. Diese beantworte ich gern <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>Nicht immer habe ich ein Ziel, wenn ich mich draußen bewege. Und manchmal entdecke ich auf meinen Wegen interessante Dinge. Da finde ich es praktisch ein kleines Gerät bei mir zu haben, mit dem ich einfach eine Wegmarke setzen kann und die mir später in einem beliebigen Programm (bspw. Google Earth) zeigt, wo das doch gleich war.</li>
<li>Es kann aber auch schön sein, nicht nur einzelne Wegmarken sondern gleich eine ganze Strecke zu haben, die man gegangen oder gefahren ist. Diese Strecke kann ich dann auch anderen zeigen. Ein virtueller Rundflug über seine Urlaubsorte, den man seinen Freunden und Verwandten zeigen kann, das hat schon was und bedarf keines Gerätes, das über 100€ kostet.</li>
<li>Im Urlaub (oder auch sonst) mache ich gerne Bilder. Ich vergesse aber häufig, wo das genau war und später tue ich mich dann schwer, bei Flickr oder Zooomr die Orte dann für jedes einzelne Foto wieder zu finden. Das Stichwort hier heißt <a href="http://www.kowoma.de/gps/spiele/geotagging/geotagging.htm" target="_blank">Geotagging</a> und geht mit der richtigen Software und einem GPS-Logger bedeutend schneller und komfortabler, als alles von Hand zu machen.</li>
<li>Das Geotagging hat noch weitere Vorteile, die nicht unbedingt nur mit Urlaub zusammenhängen müssen. Ich denke da beispielsweise an Hilfsorganisationen, die so Fotos von POIs machen und austauschen können. Das Foto selbst kann dann genau sagen, wo es geschossen worden ist und braucht nicht noch große Erklärungen und Beschreibungen. Das kann in Notfällen Zeit sparen und bei der Rekonstruktion von Schadensfällen die Nachforschung erleichtern.</li>
<li>Mit einem GPS-Logger kann man außerdem beim <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.de/" target="_blank">OpenStreetMap-Projekt</a> und anderen ähnlich gelagerten Vorhaben mitmachen. Dort kann jeder in einem großen Gemeinschaftsprojekt Kartenmaterial unter freier Lizenz selbst erstellen. cspannagel hat das Prinzip <a href="http://cspannagel.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/openstreetmap-wir-werdens-testen/#comment-8209" target="_blank">in seinem Blog</a> schön beschrieben und liefert Ideen, wie man damit sogar einen Unterricht gestalten kann.</li>
<li>Und zu guter Letzt, wenn man mag, lassen sich viele Geräte per Bluetooth als GPS-Maus verwenden, so dass man den Logger in Verbindung mit einem Handy oder Netbook und passender Software trotzdem zum Navigieren verwenden kann.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.zooomr.com/photos/stormcloud/7319111/"><img class="alignright" style="margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:10px;" src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/7319111_3dd16e1d6f_m.jpg" alt="GPS-Logger" width="240" height="194" /></a>Diese Anwendungsgebiete verbunden mit einem im Vergleich zu vollwertigen Navigationssystemen sehr geringen Preis haben den Wunsch nach solch einem Gerät bei mir geweckt.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ich habe mich für den Transystem i-blue 747 A+ entschieden, da der in den Tests (u.a. <a href="http://www.kowoma.de/gps/geraetetests/iblue%20747A+/iblue747A+.html" target="_blank">hier</a>) durch eine hohe Genauigkeit, einen recht großen Speicher und eine lange Akkulaufzeit positiv auffiel. Also habe ich mich heute zu Testzwecken auf mein altes Fahrrad geschwungen und bin ein paar Meter gefahren. Mit der Software <a href="http://www.haased.de/gps_ge/bt747_start.html" target="_blank">bt747</a> habe ich dann das Auslesen der Daten und das Geotaggen einiger Bilder ausprobiert und ich muss sagen, dass ich von der Qualität der aufgezeichneten Tracks bisher wirklich begeistert bin.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Falls euch die Früchte meiner Mühe interessieren findet ihr <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/hdfze2uq32" target="_blank">hier</a> meine Strecke als html-Datei zum Download, die den Weg wahlweise in Google Maps, OpenStreetMap und anderen Anbietern zeigt. Meine Bilder findet ihr wie üblich unter <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stormcloud/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> und <a href="http://de.zooomr.com/photos/stormcloud" target="_blank">Zoomr</a>. Hier nur mal zwei verlinkte Beispielbilder.</p>
<p><a title="Landschaftsaufnahme mit Geoinformation bei Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stormcloud/3470957356/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:20px;margin-right:20px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3566/3470957356_c8268012f4_m.jpg" alt="DSC01163.JPG" width="240" height="180" /></a><a title="Landschaftsaufnahme mit Geoinformation bei Zooomr" href="http://www.zooomr.com/photos/stormcloud/7319124/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" style="margin-left:20px;margin-right:20px;" src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/7319124_f2257391ab_m.jpg" alt="Landschaftsaufnahmen" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Das einzige Problem besteht derzeit nur, dass der Logger noch nicht 100% unter Linux läuft. Mit dem Vorgänger i-blue 747 war das kein Problem, doch der Nachfolger ist hier trotz ähnlichem Chipsatz bockiger. Näheres hierzu werdet ihr zu gegebener Zeit in meinem <a href="http://linuxtagebuch.wordpress.com/">Linux-Tagebuch</a> finden.</p>

Es un servicio desarrollado por Ludicorp (en el 2002) y que gracias a su popularidad<span> </span>llamó la atención de los gigantes de internet siendo adquirida por Yahoo!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Una aplicación tan sencilla tiene que tener algo para que enganche tanto y que los usuarios estén pendientes las 24 horas de su página personal, en este caso las etiquetas que puedes incluir en las fotos y el explorador de las mejores fotos de la semana como premio han hecho de los Flickeros unos verdaderos adictos, creando una gran comunidad on-line que accede al servicio y donde tienen a día de hoy almacenadas más de dos mil millones de imágenes. Por ejemplo podemos clasificar con las siguientes etiquetas una fotografía: playa mar valencia España para que de esa forma sea más fácil encontrar tus fotos y las de otros usuarios, y ver fotos de tu interés, también puedes crear &#8220;sets&#8221; o categorías para organizar mejor tus fotos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-105" title="etiquetas" src="http://vizk8ito.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/etiquetas.jpg?w=300" alt="etiquetas" width="300" height="170" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Uno de los servicios dentro de la página que llama mucho la atención es la localización en un mapa (Geoposicionamiento) de dónde fueron tomadas tus fotos y videos y mirar los que han sido tomados cerca de ti, para comparar, aprender y compartir.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Podemos, como ya hemos dicho, etiquetar, comentar, incluir en álbumes, localizar en un mapa, describir la cámara con la que hiciste la foto, incluir información del objetivo utilizado, e <span> </span>incluso ahora es posible tomar fotos o video con el móvil (bueno, por supuesto), y<span> </span>envíarlo por correo electrónico a Flickr.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Como en casi todos los sitios Web en el que se ofrecen servicios tenemos la cuenta gratuita y la de pago (pro), donde sobre todo en la edición de las fotos encontramos un montón de limitaciones al no tener cuenta Premium, y no podemos utillizar la mayoría de herramientas al más puro estilo PhotoShop.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">El objetivo principal de los creadores de Flickr es COMPARTIR, donde millones de usuarios y cientos de millones de fotos y videos, pertenecen a comunidades fotográficas de intereses comunes cuya función principal es el intercambio, pudiendo elegir si hacer públicas o privadas las fotografías y grupos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Los detalles que hacen grande a Flickr principalmente son:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Publicar comentarios en las fotos y videos</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Utilización de Flash para mejorar la carga y manejo de las imágenes</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Agregar pequeñas notas sobre la foto (tambien gracias a Flash)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Enviar la foto a grupos fácilmente</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Hacer una presentación con tus fotos (Slideshow)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Calendario fotográfico</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Publicar fotos directamente en tu blog</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Listar las últimas fotos en tu blog</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Lista de fotos marcadas como favoritas</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Crear una URL personalizada ejemplo: http://flickr.com/photos/vizk8ito/</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">· Publicar fotos vía email o software.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Según la página<span> </span><a href="http://www.maestrosdelweb.com/">maestrosdelweb.com</a> la mezcla de varias tendencias sociales y tecnologías, hacen que la gente pueda interactuar de diferentes maneras, empezando por el API abierto de Flickr que permite la creación de nuevas aplicaciones basadas en este servicio, por ejemplo:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.marumushi.com/apps/flickrgraph/">Flickr Graph</a>:      Escribe tu nombre de usuario y podras ver tus relaciones sociales de una      manera muy atractiva.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://krazydad.com/colrpickr/">Color Fields Color Picker</a>: Aplicación      que despliega fotos según el color que escogas.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://metaatem.net/words.php">Spell with flickr </a>: Herramienta      que permite deletrear palabras con imágenes.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;"><a href="http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/related_tag_browser/app/">Related Tag Browser</a>: Buscador de imagenes por etiquetas (tags) que despliega las fotos relacionadas con esta.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-110" title="aplicaciones-en-flickr" src="http://vizk8ito.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/aplicaciones-en-flickr.jpg" alt="aplicaciones-en-flickr" width="278" height="183" /><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0 21   false false false        MicrosoftInternetExplorer4  &#60;![endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Pros:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;text-align:justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Uno de los servicios y aplicaciones más completos que existen, por la cantidad de cosas que se pueden hacer y por el numeroso conjunto de usuarios que lo utiliza.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;text-align:justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Una herramienta más para ligar, está de moda utilizar este tipo de páginas, y queda bastante bien dar tu nombre de usuario para que la gente te visite, conozca y vea lo interesante que eres.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Contras:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;text-align:justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->La <em>desaparición</em> de fotos antiguas (en una cuenta gratuita sólo se muestran las últimas 200) en la cuenta gratuíta</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;text-align:justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->Las limitaciones en la publicación de videos y edición de fotos al no ser Premium</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt;text-align:justify;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span>-<span style="font-family:&#34;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->El límite para subir hasta 100MB mensuales</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">En definitiva, un gestor cuasi perfecto, elegante, sencillo y muy rápido. Y para que vayáis conociendo más este servicio aquí dejo <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36994291@N06/">mi dirección en Flickr.</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Aunque parezca increíble existe vida más allá de Flickr, y hay muchas otras alternativas que vale la pena conocer para iniciarse en el almacenamiento de nuestros recuerdos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Kodak Gallery se trata de una página web donde los usuarios pueden almacenar un número ilimitado de fotos de forma totalmente gratuita, el único requisito consiste en imprimir al menos una imagen al año o pierdes tu cuenta de usuario.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Básicamente tiene aplicaciones muy similares a las de Flickr con la novedad de que esta plataforma además te permite solicitar la impresión de tus imágenes a través de la propia Web, sin moverte de casa, incluyendo formatos diferentes al papel menos habituales, como regalos personalizados en forma de libros de fotos, tazas, camisetas, calendarios o incluso delantales que en unos tres días laborables aproximadamente, el usuario recibirá directamente en su domicilio.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">Aunque el servicio, en principio, es gratuito, la única pega que le podemos poner, como hemos dicho antes, es que Kodak te pide como requisito que al menos compres uno de sus productos o servicios una vez al año, y que tendremos que pagar los gastos de envío.<a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com.es/Welcome.jsp" target="_blank">Link a Kodak Gallery</a><br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Otros</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Photobucket:</strong> Muy popular entre los usuarios de <a href="http://www.myspace.com/">MySpace</a>, te permite almacenar hasta 10.000 fotografías y además vídeos de forma gratuita. Una de sus características más usadas es que puedes hacer presentaciones con tus fotografías y agregarles, música, efectos especiales y textos. Pero una de sus limitantes es que no hay versión en español. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank">Link a Photobucket</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Ipernity:</strong> Si te gusta la interfaz de <strong>Flickr</strong>, seguro te gusta <strong>ipernity</strong>, podríamos decir que visualmente es casi un clon de ese servicio, rayando en copia de la interfaz, también está en español y además de fotografías puedes subir vídeos, audios y otro tipo de archivos. La versión gratuita te permite mostrar todo lo que almacenes, pero solo puedes subir 200MB en archivos cada mes, también hay una versión de pago (24€ año) que elimina ese límite y además los anuncios en el sitio. <a href="http://www.ipernity.com/" target="_blank">Link a Ipernity</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Zooomr:</strong> Está disponible en Español y otros idiomas, no hay ningún límite en ancho de banda, tamaño de los archivos, o número de fotografías a subir. También hay una versión de pago que elimina los anuncios y te da otras funcionalidades, que realmente no son muy avanzadas, por lo que la versión gratuita puede ser suficiente. Puedes crear varios álbumes (llamados Smartsets) y hay Grupos a los cuales puedes enviar tus fotografías para compartir con otros usuarios del servicio. <a href="http://es.zooomr.com/" target="_blank">Link a Zooomr</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Definitivamente, conservar nuestras fotografías en las webs es el futuro o mejor dicho el presente de una situación que en poco tiempo se ha hecho un hueco en nuestras vidas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Juhu! Habe jetzt endlich alle Fotos die ich bei <a href="http://de.zooomr.com/zipline/possebaer">zooomr</a> ohne uploadtool hochgeladen hatte (und deswegen ohne Tags waren) getaggt.<br />
Ich hatte bereits einzelne Fotostrecken getaggt, bloß der Großteil ging noch ab &#8212; 2 1/2 h hab ich jetzt dazu gebraucht&#8230;<!--more--></p>
<p>Toll an zooomr ist, dass man unbegrenzten Upload hat. Es existiert auch eine Software von dritter Seite, die es ermöglicht die Fotos vor dem Upload zu taggen und zu drehen &#8212; im Webinterface von zooomr kann man das natürlich nur Foto für Foto machen, was einfach nur mühsam ist.<br />
Was mich auch noch stört ist, dass man die Fotos nicht nach dem Datum der Kamera sortieren lassen kann, und in den sogenannten &#8220;Smart Sets&#8221; kann man zwar das Kameradatum als Kriterium angeben &#8212; aber irgendwie hab ich es nicht geschafft ein solches Set anzulegen mit Bildern zwischen 2 gewünschten Daten &#8212; die Filtereinstellung/auswahl ist hier einfach zu begrenzt.<br />
Eine Sortierung nach Kameradatum wär für mich sehr hilfreich, weil der erste Schwung an Bildern den ich hochgeladen habe, aus sehr vielen Bildern bestand &#8212; ich hatte erst Ende Oktober einen eigenen Internetzugang &#8212; und die Reihenfolge beim Hochladen etwas durcheinandergeraten ist &#8212; nun ja zooomr wird anscheinend eh weiterentwickelt und vielleicht kommen ja mal in diesem Bereich funktionalitäten hinzu.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>About a year back there were lot of problems with the photo sharing site <a href="http://www.zooomr.com">zooomr.com</a> and it took help from Sun and Zoho. Today, more than a year later, I thought I would revisit the site and check how things are.</p>
<p>A lot of features like the Zipline – something like <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> – has been added. Users can now purchase PRO accounts and such. </p>
<p>But the site is about photo sharing and my interest was only in checking this feature. Uploading and viewing photos worked perfectly. Even from Linux I was able to upload photos but was not able to use the flash uploader. Thats ok, I was able to do all the other stuff on the site without problems, except just one.</p>
<p>One thing that did not work correctly everytime was creating Sets. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Sometimes it listed the number of photos incorrectly which later got corrected to the right number. </p>
<p>Other features like labeling, tagging people, geo tagging, privacy settings, licensing, and sharing on social networks worked just fine. Overall, I am happy with the way things are working on the site. </p>
<p>I used this post as an opportunity to test Windows Live Writer. Though I have used it in the past without much liking, I wanted to see how it fared now.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-178" title="fli13lk" src="http://13dinge.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/fli13lk.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="56" /> Foto Sharing Webseiten sind in den 90ern entstanden, aber es brauchte ein kleines &#8220;Startup&#8221;, genannt <a href="http://flickr.com">Flickr</a>, um den Gedanken des &#8220;Teilens&#8221; explosionsartig zu verbreiten. Innerhalb der letzten Jahre entwickelte sich Flickr zu einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Foto Sharing Seiten im Internet und war einer der ersten Dienste, der die sogenannten  Keywords oder &#8220;Tags&#8221; benutzt hat, um Verbindungen zwischen Bildern und Benutzern der Seite zu schaffen.</p>
<p>Inzwischen gibt es eine Menge ähnlicher Dienste, aber wie überall bei dieser Form von &#8220;social software&#8221; kommt es auf die kritische Masse an: Je mehr NutzerInnen, desto mehr Möglichkeiten Interessantes bzw. Gleichgesinnte zu entdecken und je verbreiteter der Dienst desto mehr sogenannte Mashups stehen zur Verfügung. flickr ist dabei ganz weit vorne, aber auch die anderen Dienste stellen viele Weiterverarbeitungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung, die Bilder oder Tags oder Nutzer können eigentlich überall als RSS-Fed bezogen werden.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>In dieser Lektion sollen Sie einen Blick auf <a href="http://flickr.com">Flickr</a> bzw. <a href="http://www.ipernity.com/">ipernity</a> oder auch <a href="http://de.zooomr.com/">zooomr </a>werfen und entdecken, was diese Dienste zu bieten haben. Finden Sie heraus wie Tags funktionieren, was Gruppen sind und entdecken Sie, für was andere Leute und Bibliotheken bzw. BibliothekarInnen (eine Liste finden sie <a title="Öffnet in neuem Fenster" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/librariesandlibrarians/discuss/169806/" target="_blank">hier</a>) Flickr und andere Bilderdienste benutzen.</p>

<li><a title="flickr - LoC" href="http://log.netbib.de/archives/2008/01/16/flickr-commons-ein-piloprojekt-mit-dem-fotoarchiv-der-library-of-congress/">Flickr: Commons. Ein Pilotprojekt mit dem Fotoarchiv der Library of Congress</a>, ein Betrag zu diesem Dienst von Lambert Heller im  netbib-Weblog</li>
<li>schauen Sie sich das Video &#8220;<a title="Öffnet in neuem Fenster" href="http://lernen20.vodpod.com/video/748944-online-photo-sharing-in-plain-english-common-craft-explanations-in-plain-english" target="_blank">Online Photo Sharing in Plain English</a>&#8221; an</li>
<li>und nicht zuletzt ein Blick auf dden Fotopool der  <a title="öffnet in neuem Fenster" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/librariesandlibrarians/pool/" target="_blank">&#8220;flickrnden&#8221; Bibliotheken</a>, Deutschland ist noch ein weisser Fleck, wie man auf der <a title="Öffnet in neuem Fenster" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/librariesandlibrarians/" target="_blank">Weltkarte</a> ersehen kann. Sehen Sie sich ein wenig um.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Aufgaben:</h3>
<p>Die erste Aufgabe besteht darin, mal zu schauen, ob Sie Bilder von BibliothekarInnen finden, die Duschhauben tragen und/oder Bilder von extravaganten Bücherwagen zu finden.</p>
<p>Verlinken Sie ein Bild in in Ihrem Weblog (also nicht das Bild einfügen, sondern nur einen Link dorthin setzen).</p>
<p>In dieser Lektion haben Sie zwei weitere Optionen:</p>
<p>1. Schauen Sie sich bei <a href="http://flickr.com">Flickr</a> oder <a href="http://www.ipernity.com">ipernity</a> um und entdecken Sie interessante Bilder über die Sie bloggen möchten. Gehen Sie sicher, das Sie entweder einen Link zu dem Bild erstellen oder das Foto direkt einbauen (beachten Sie die Urheberrechte!).</p>
<p>&#8211; ODER &#8211;</p>
<p>2. Wenn Sie bereit sind für eine einfache Übung&#8230; erstellen Sie sich selbst einen Flickr-Account und knipsen Sie mit Ihrer Digitalkamera (oder der Ihrer Bibliothek) ein oder zwei Digitalfotos und laden Sie diese auf Flickr hoch. Die hochgeladenen Fotos &#8220;taggen&#8221; Sie dann u.a. mit <strong>13Dinge</strong> und markieren sie als <strong>öffentlich</strong>. Danach erstellen sie einen Blogbeitrag über ihr Foto und ihre Erfahrung. Gehen Sie sicher, das Sie das Foto oder einen Link zum Foto in Ihren Beitrag einbauen.</p>
<p>Probieren Sie es aus und sie werden entdecken, dass man auf diesen Diensten vieles entdecken und Spass haben kann. Suchen Sie doch z.B. mal nach Knut, Flocke oder dem Namen Ihrer Stadt bzw. Bibliothek auf <a title="Suche nach Knut" href="http://flickr.com/search/?q=knut&#38;w=all">flickr</a> und auf <a title="Suche nach Knut auf ipernity" href="http://www.ipernity.com/search/doc?q=knut&#38;w=on">ipernity</a> und vergleichen Sie die Art der Anzeige und die Menge der Beiträge. Wenn Sie sich dafür interessieren einige andere Foto Hosting Seiten anzuschauen, schauen Sie sie sich <a href="http://www.das-bloggt.de/tipsntricks/10-alternativen-zu-flickr/" target="_blank">diesen Weblogeintrag an.</a></p>
<p><strong>PS: Eine kurze Einführung über die Foto Veröffentlichungs-Etiquette</strong></p>
<p>Wenn sie Bilder von anderen Personen veröffentlichen (insbesondere von Minderjährigen) ist es ratsam, die Erlaubnis der Person eingeholt zu haben, bevor Sie das Bild an einem öffentlichen Platz wie Flickr veröffentlichen. Laden Sie niemals Fotos hoch, die Sie nicht aufgenommen haben (es sei denn Sie haben die Erlaubnis des Fotografen) und nennen Sie immer den Namen, wenn Sie ein Bild eines anderen Fotografen in ihrem Blog benutzen.</p>
<p><strong>Beachten Sie die Urheberrechte!!</strong> Wenn die Rechte vorbehalten sind, verzichten Sie auf die Verwendung der Bilder. Sie können aber in der erweiterten Suche von Flickr nur nach Fotos mit einer Creative Commons-Lizenz suchen. Diese Bilder können Sie unter der Beachtung der Lizenz auch in Ihrem eigenen Weblog verwenden. <a href="http://flickr.com/search/advanced/" target="_blank">http://flickr.com/search/advanced</a></p>
<h3>Alternative Suche nach freien Inhalten auf flickr</h3>
<p>Eine schnellere (und hübschere) Methode nach Bildern auf flickr zu suchen, ist <a title="Öffnet in neuem Fenster" href="http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php" target="_blank">flickrCC</a>. Wenn man diesen Dienst nutzt, werden nach Eingabe des Suchbegriffs nur Bilder angezeigt, die unter einer CC-Lizenz zu nutzen sind, meist muss wenigstens der Name des Forografen angegeben werden. Genaueres findet man direkt beim Bild auf flickr.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It seems that although the storm clouds are hanging high over Wall Street in New York, the effects of a struggling economy are being felt all the way across the country here in the Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/163443">Newsweek</a>:</p>
<p><em>As if waking from a dream, <a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Silicon+Valley">Silicon Valley</a> has suddenly realized that the collapsing economy means trouble for tech companies, too. Especially at risk are the new <a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Startups">startups</a> created in the wake of the last dotcom crash in 2001. The signal traits of these Web 2.0 companies are cutesy logos, odd-sounding names—<a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Twitter+Inc.">Twitter</a>, Zooomr, Digg, <a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Ning+Inc.">Ning</a>, Loopt—and flimsy <a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Business">business</a> plans based on a vague notion of luring millions of people to free Web sites and someday selling advertisements. Most lose money. Some have raised enough venture-capital funding to survive for a year or more. Some may be able to raise more from venture backers, albeit at onerous terms. But many are going to flame out.</em></p>
<p><em>The correction is long overdue. Over the past two years, valuations on some Valley startups have soared to ridiculous levels. <a class="related" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Facebook+Inc.">Facebook</a>, the social-networking site, last year raised money at a $15 billion valuation despite being profitless and only three years old. Ning, another social-networking site, has raised $104 million and was most recently valued at $500 million. (Cofounder Marc Andreessen, a Valley veteran, said earlier this year he was raising money to ride out a coming &#8220;nuclear winter.&#8221;) Slide, a maker of software widgets that let Facebook users &#8220;Poke&#8221; and &#8220;SuperPoke&#8221; each other, earlier this year raised $50 million at a $550 million valuation. Just as in the original dotcom boom of the late 1990s, Valley types claimed these valuations were perfectly reasonable, and insisted there was no bubble. Those who have raised war chests remain upbeat. &#8220;Not to sound obnoxious, but this downturn could be good for us,&#8221; says Max Levchin, founder and CEO of Slide, in San Francisco. &#8220;Some of our competitors are going to go out of business.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Public markets are practically shut down to new offerings. Even the chance of being acquired has grown slimmer. Without the prospect of a hefty &#8220;liquidity event,&#8221; as it&#8217;s called in the Valley, a lot of these former high fliers don&#8217;t seem so sexy anymore. Facebook attracted top talent with the promise of a public stock offering that would create loads of overnight millionaires (and a few overnight billionaires) the way Google did when it went public in 2004. Now Facebook employees are jumping ship, including Dustin Moskovitz, a company cofounder.</em></p>
