And He Blogs

Microsoft has a sense of humor, as I confirmed a while ago, but what about for real products? Will they be able to market something well when it counts? Based on the site Stay At Home Servers , I’d say that Microsoft is taking a great approach. With great, and sometimes laugh-out-loud humor, they are easing consumers into the idea that it’s OK to have a, (cue dramatic music) dun dun dun, server in the house. And don’t call them lazy! The creepy host is also a great parody of the Dateline-20/20 style "investigative" reporters. I’m hearing good things about Windows Home Server, and I look forward to more videos.

I suppose that Flickr would be the sweet, lovely butterfly and Picnik provides the sting as the bee. The marriage is finally consumated. You will now find an "Edit Photo" button on your Flickr pictures, and that editor is the Picnik engine, which opens up a new section for you to edit to your heart’s content. Or at least with the functions that the service provides you. Those features include things like resize, crop, fixing red eye, and even exposure and "auto-fix" capabilities.

Since I had an account already, I was greeted with this.

If you have a Flickr account, and you haven’t signed up at Picnik yet, it’s time!
