In the beginning, Flickr innovated the way people share and discover photos. Today, we are shifting the photo-sharing landscape again. We’re releasing a Flickr that’s more spectacular, much bigger, and one you can take anywhere.

At Flickr, we believe you should share all your images in full resolution, so life’s moments can be relived in their original quality.

it's a pity that this redesign went over the same day of Tumblr's acquisition ... the news went under the radar (for me) until moments ago...

Google new Hangouts messaging service is quite impressive — it takes Google’s old and neglected Talk service and upgrades it with always-on communication, support for images, video calling, and much more.

But for all of the improved service that Hangouts offers, if you upgrade the Google Talk service within Gmail to Hangouts (by selecting the “Try the new Hangouts” option in Talk’s menu), you lose some significant features — namely the ability to set your availability status and, more importantly, the ability to place or receive Google Voice calls from within Gmail.

Essentially, the new Hangouts removes the option to host a Google Voice call on your computer, something that many users find convenient and necessary in their day to day workflow.

Perspective on iOS, a Keynote alternative

Perspective is a platform for exploring, creating, and sharing audiovisual stories. Today’s storytelling involves a mishmash of apps, websites, blog tools, and technologies. Perspective simplifies all this by combining the essential elements of storytelling into a single iPad App.

Some days ago I found this app for our beloved iOS devices which, at least from the screenshots, seems to be a real nice and effective alternative to Apple’s own Keynote.app. It’s called Perspective.

At the moment I do not have presentation to make in near future, so I’m writing this down as a self note reference. Do you have any real, hands-on experience with this software (or something similar)?

Let me know in the comments!

A poorly run startup is a poorly run business.
A wonderfully run startup is a wonderfully run business. I don’t believe there are many great startups that are bad businesses. Maybe less than 1%. If the business is bad the startup is bad.
A great idea, maybe, but a great business, no.
So if you start something up, start a business, don’t start a startup.
