PictureCloud.com is new service – pretty cool stuff. They have free and paid service. For starter, you should play with free version and get the idea.

I did about 20 pictures (they recommend between 20-36 pictures) and putting all together automatically by this website. I copy scripts from them and put it on my website. Very easy.

Picture clouds bring photos to life by showing items on the web from a new perspective. With a little creativity, you can now show items online just like you see them in person. Whether it is a house for sale, or a fun 360 of yourself, picture clouds are easy to create and easy to post. No software to download, no special cameras needed, and no signup is required, and best of all - picture clouds are free.

Picture clouds can…
•Show around items up to 360°
•Assist in consumer buying decisions
•Be created in under 5 minutes
•Be placed in your web pages, auctions, blogs, personals, emails, and more…

Try it out! Go to http://www.picturecloud.com

List of all useful proxy website. You should use it when you are on someone’s computer or at public computer. It helps keep yourself privacy and as well as ability to get on Instant Messenger — some of them will block but proxy should do the trick. Not always but it should works. I found them at another forum — I figure it could be useful information in long run.

Note: Enter any of those website at your own risk.

Few days ago, Dave posted comment about Meebo and I did not try it out till today. Meebo is web-based IM client exclusively — all you need is make sure javascript is on. it works flawlessly for me.

It appears to be very nice and smooth – better than most of web-based interface such as e-messenger.net

Meebo program itself based on AJAX which one of the newest technology. I don’t know much about it but you can see it’s already showing some promise for future.

I probably wouldn’t use it daily basis but I definitely will use when I am on road or at someone’s else computer.

They promise to add many more features and as well as mobile version. It’s very exciting.

To learn more about Meebo, go to http://www.meebo.com
