Talk about the world around you with GeoGraffiti
This find strikes me as a unique way to capitalize on our social networking and sharing culture, as well as on the prevalence of cell phones.

GeoGraffiti now has a public beta of a free “verbal bulletin board.”  You can create location-speciific audio notes, called “voice marks,” from any cell phone.  Share them with the world and listen to and/or respond to other people’s voice marks.

GeoGraffiti says its mission is to organize the mobile phone community’s “wisdom of crowds” intelligence, and to facilitate the exchange of that location-specific intelligence by providing a voice-driven platform that is accessible from any phone and any place.

MobileCrunch says that once you have registered, “adding a new location through the site is quick and easy, but doing so over the phone is currently a bit of a chore. If you initiate the Voice Mark over the phone, its placement is only accurate to the zip code. After you record your Voice Mark, you’ll click your way through a series of menus to properly tag your recording - it’s easy to follow, but listening through the options takes a bit too long.”

The video demo shows how you can take advantage of GeoGraffiti.  [via TechCrunch]

Photoshop Express adds Flickr support
When we first posted about the new free online image editor, Photoshop Express, we listed the supported photo sharing sites and mentioned that Flickr was expected in the future. 

Now Lifehacker reports that Flickr support has been added so you can take images from your Flickr account, edit them with PS Express, and put them back, all without downloading anything. 

“It’s not full-on Photoshop”, they say, “but still a great web-based editor for your Flickr photos.”
