Diigo — next generation social bookmarking
Diigo 3.0 promises a next generation social bookmarking and annotation service that enables users to increase research productivity, readily exchange information, and connect with others who share their interests and concerns.
Quick Online Tips says to forget mere bookmarking, instead highlight portions of web pages, add sticky notes and create your own personal digest of the web with your collection of highlights for leisure reading.
“The new Diigo combines the best of social networking, bookmarking, highlighting, and annotating to let people discover, save, and share the information that is important to them.”
Twins Visions — image management and editing tool
Twins Visions is another tool for managing your photo collection. It comes with a 3D image viewer, photo editor and sharing tool. It has basic image editing capabilities like resizing, cropping, red eye removal and a few effects can be added as well.
“The best part of this application is the ability to do all the tasks like viewing, editing and sharing using a single application. Many softwares which come with digital cameras allows you to view and edit your photos but they don’t allow you to share your pictures via Flickr. Using Visions you can upload selected pictures to your Flickr account.”
Video on Flickr
Pro Flickr members can now share videos up to 90 seconds in their photostream.
Flickr Blog explains that the limit fits into the idea of “long photos,” of “capturing slices of life to share.” Flickr is also doubling the size of still photos that can be uploaded — 20MB per photo for pro members and 10MB per photo for members with free accounts.
