Microsoft: Redmond buys Photo Sharing Service WebFives
As always, Microsoft is very late to the game. Maybe it’s a part of their strategy: wait until Google (Picasa Web Albums) and Yahoo (Flickr) establish solid market positions, and then develop or buy an (usually inferior) product of their own and try to corner those remaining 10% of users. This time, they’ve acquired WebFives (previously Vizrea), a photo/video/audio sharing site primarily aimed at mobiles, specifically Nokia devices. In typical Microsoft fashion, they’re promptly shutting down the service (current users have 30 days to download their content) which will probably reemerge later as a Microsoft branded product.

Net-sharing cam: Youtubing your pictures and videos, the Sony way!
Sony is going all the way to rake the interest of the young and excitement-buzzing generation, what say. It’s all over the place, whether its iPod accessories, TV sets, music players, or just about any electronic equipment under the sun; you couldn’t possibly skip gadget news worldwide these days, without reading about at least one Sony device. What you see up there is not some cheap imitation of the N93 or any other photography-encouraging phone. It’s Sony’s ‘net-sharing-cam’, and true to its name, Read more
SnapVillage by Corbis: Amateurs make money selling photos
I’ve always felt exceptionally irritated with websites that charge a bomb for buying or selling photographs. I mean c’mon, you got to at least stop putting humungous price tags on memories. I mean didn’t some wise guy say that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever?” Considering that phrase in today’s scenario, it looks like that’s no more the case. It’s more like “a thing of beauty is a pocket burner forever”( Oh I’m sure a lot of guys will agree, if you know what I mean).
Well, to embalm our pocket-burning wounds (well, at least to some extent), Corbis (a Microsoft enterprise), now brings to you something called SnapVillage (www.snapvillage.com), which offers royalty-free images ranging from $1 to $50.
Now you can adorn your entire creative project with affordable and great pictures without having to worry about the cost (well, at least without worrying too much).
I checked out the website myself, and ooh la la, that place has sure got some talented bunch! Gorgeous pictures I’d say and you have pictures for almost anything you’d possibly need. Sure, $ 50 per picture (which is the max it would cost on the site) might seem like a lot if you’re doing 10 projects a month, but hey, they’re at least doing something to contain costs. Read more
Radar.net: Sharing your pics finally ‘private’
Personally, I love all networking sites and nothing excites me more than sharing my pictures with all those long-lost friends and bum chums! But what when I want to share some of my oh-not-so-prudent pictures from my trip to the beaches at Miami or the clubs at Las Vegas?
I definitely wouldn’t want to upload it at one of those thousand networking sites, just to risk finding myself on a not so welcome (anti-family-watching) site. Well, the good news is that me, and all of u like me (ahem!) have nothing to worry anymore.
A new website, Radar (It’s not a networking site) helps you upload and share your pictures and still control the right Read more
