Postive outlook of Sharing Images

Link to us : http://snipr.com/ubo7b

Well guys my post this week is about a positive issue. As we all know sharing images through image hosting website has always been seen to a certain extend as a negative aspect. Why? Well this is due to some people who use this kinda services to promote themselves in a wrong manner. If you know what i mean.

Well I came across the positive aspect of this on an article. It was an article written by a parent telling other parents out there not to only look at the bad aspects of online services. This parent spoke about how her daughter had put up pictures that was taken during christmas and using the tagging option was able to show it to other family members. The parent was very happy that her daughter found a new mode of keeping in touch with family and friends.

This article clearly shows that there is a bigger plus point to sharing images online. "Sharing is Caring" is something that is fondly used by teenagers these days, I strongly believe that it should be followed. Share information, moments and memories that benefit others not bring harm.



Thats all for this weeks post guys. Till next week.Take Care =)

Hello and welcome back! Topic for this week social media sites for photo sharing!

And I'm going to talk about, Photobucket!



What do you do when you have tons of pictures and you want to show them to your circle of friends and family?? Need back up for your precious pictures?? Then Photobucket is for you!

Photobucket is an image hosting, free photo sharing, video sharing and and slideshow creation website. It was created in 2003, and its most famously used for personal albums of pictures. Photobucket is also used widely in blogs, e-bay and also social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook.

Photobucket offers 500MB of storage space and hours of video sharing. It was previously 1GB, but as all media sites, they started charging. Users who needed more space had to upgrade of course.

In terms of privacy, users could make it a public account allowing anyone to view it, or make it private and only allowing selected people to use it.

Photobucket is not one of a kind in the market, it shares it with more than 30 different types of photo sharing sites. To name a few - Flicker, Image Shack & Picasa. But to me, it feels like the most user friendly and popular choice to use amongst users.

Week 2 Poll Results!

Link to us : http://snipr.com/u9r20



This weeks poll was about Facebook asking us to pay for their services.We asked you what would your rather do, and the answer was as expected. As you can see above, majority has said that they would switch to friendster and the rest stop using social networking sites at all. Now as you can see, Friendster and Facebook has made such a huge effect on their user that people would either swithc between the both or quit using sites like this at all.

There are many different types of social networking sites, such as Myspace, Bebo,Hi5 and so much more, but when discussed in a crowd the only two names and pop-up are Facebook and Friendster. This poll also clearly shows, that Facebook should not make their users pay for the services, they would loose out big time.

Anyways guys thanks for sharing you input in this quick poll. We will be coming up with more interesting stuff for you'll in our next poll.

Social Music Sites an issue?

Link to us : http://snipr.com/u917x

As you can read from the earlier post, you can see that Imeem is out. My post today is today is to speak about the issues users come acrooss when using social music sites. The top 3 issues are as follows.

Firstly: Tracks Played Counter, this is when the play counter on your profile suddenly drops a lot of plays, although all the scrobbled tracks are still in your charts. This is a display glitch which will correct itself within 24 hours, you haven't actually lost any scrobbles! So dont worry.


Next :Radio Page, the video advertisement that flashes before the radio starts can cause some browsers to crash for example, Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 2, and Safari 3/4. This is a major problem for most internet users use these 3 browsers.

Third :Adding Tracks to Playlists, when trying to add a track to your playlist using the "Add a track" option on your playlist's page, it may not find any tracks at all. This causes alot of irritance with the users. For those who are planning to switch to Last.fm please think again. The issues that pop-up with social music sites.

Take care Guys! catch you'll in my next post. =)

Radioblogclub!

Radio.blog is the first stand-alone player that lets you stream sound on your website.
Using this website, users can easily just listen to their choice of music by just clicking the play list given by the sties. This site support streaming and users have to wait for it to load before the music is being played.


This site have less users now since the existing of Youtube.com. The reason why people switch to Youtube.com is mainly because radioblogclub does not have visual to be viewed by the users and also it loads very slowly. Every new songs of choice that has been clicked need to wait a long time to just listen to one song. This site also allows user to buy in the store. Users need to pay a certain amount of cash to download a certain content of songs. Users that sign up for it can have a "favorite page" where the users can put their frequent listen songs. It's old but it definitely works! check it out!

Imeem No More!

Link to us : http://snipr.com/u8zhe

Hello hello I'm back for my weekly post and this week we're going to be talking about music sites!

Topic for today : No more Imeem!!



Before heading to the topic, here's a little history on Imeem -

Imeem was founded in 2003 with the concept of free, advertising supported music model for online music which allowed users to legally upload, stream and share music. Imeem was the first ever online music site to secure licenses from all four major music labels in the United States. It claimed to have had 16 million users worldwide!

What happened??? -

It shut down! My condolences for all Imeem user's - no one was notified therefore there goes all the play list down the drain!

The reason -

Apparently Imeem's full-track-playback licenses expired as a result of its inability to keep up with licensing payments and there was also a lawsuit in the process with a huge sum that Imeem was not able to pay!



What happened to the company?? -

MySpace Music - a joint venture between MySpace and music labels acquired a deal to buy "certain assets" from the pioneers of online music site. The entire Imeem service has been removed from the web and their Iphone Apps no longer works. The imeem.com domain now redirects to MySpace music and embedded songs on your blogs and social network sites no longer load.

All hope is not gone!

GOOD NEWS for Imeem users! A few Imeem high ranking employee's have signed on to Myspace Music and is in the working to maybe transfer Imeem's play list over to MySpace music! =D

I just checked out MySpace music and it's looking not too bad, pretty interesting i would say. Here's the link for you to check it out! http://music.myspace.com/



Now that there is no more Imeem but only MySpace music, if Facebook dies off, I think MySpace is a pretty good option as it has both a social network site and also a music site. What do you think? Should we start a MySpace phenomenon here in Malaysia?
