Sharing is great and we can all be glad that people are willing to share their works through Creative Commons licenses.  

Creative Commons provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, educators, and just plain folks easily mark their creative work with fewer restriction that the usual “All Rights Reserved.”  Mashable’s list includes places you can find audio, text, images, and videos under Creative Commons licenses.

Online photo editors
Technology Bites thinks Picnik  is the best online photo editor but lists a dozen more.  They did an earlier review of Picnik.

While using your Gmail account you may see a link to “older version” at the top of the page.  According to the Google Operating System Blog, that means you are experiencing the new version of Gmail that has been promised. 

Check the blog for a list and illustrations of new features that include mail prefetching, updated contact manager and other small updates.  It appears that the new version is being rolled out slowly, so hang in there if, like me, you don’t have it yet.
