PiiCaPp

PiCapp is quite an intersting site filled with millions of magines and it allows people to use those pictures in their blogs. The good thing about Picapp is that the pictures that are availabe with Picapp are free to use and its 100% legal to copy and paste pictures using their embedded code. Moreover it does not require you to create an account unlike other sites which made it nice, quick and easy.

If you ask my personal opinion, I didnt quite find the pictures I wanted. When I typed it fashion, it came up with a bunch of pictures of a celebrity captured by paparazzis, there was no fashion element in any of the pics that came up. And later I wanted to see the beautiful sights of China and again it came up with the random pictures of Chinese politicians and other irrelevant pictures. So I wasn't pleased by my surfing though Picapp, I rekcon google images provide a better service than Picapp, I will stick to that.
As for future use I will keep in mind the site and would offer customers who seek help with pictures.

Here is an interesting picture that came up when i searched for "flowers"

A vendor sells garlands of marigold flowers at a wholesale flower market ahead of Janamashtmi , in Kolkata August 30, 2010. The garlands will be in great demand as people seek to decorate temples and homes for Janamashtmi , the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna that will be celebrated on September 2.

this picture here is a bit obscure on first glance, you might think the man is walking with yellow coloured rope. But what it really is that the man is holding a garland of marigold flowers who sells it at the wholesale flower market in Kolkata.

2nd Round Web2.0 - starting with box. net

Guess what..we are back with the web2.0 journey, 2nd round. I truly acknowledge the library for coming up with these web.20 activities for us.
This time we started off web 2.0 with the box.net...it's a great site which gives you 1gb of workspace where you can save your documents, photos etc. It also allows you to share the files, add comments, start a discussion etc. the good thing about box.net is that it will be particularly useful to customer who do not have a USB or any other portable device to save their work.we all tend to misplace our USB device every now and then, so box.net is a great place to save all our important documents. once you exceed the 1gb capacity you will have to pay to buy additional space.
