Picapp - stereotyping the profession

Update... Sadly Picapp has closed down the free image service it offered and this service is not currently available. My options are now MorgueFile, Flickr, Stock.Xchang, Image Base, Open Photo or Free photo, all of which offer services to support bloggers. Yeeeehahhh! It is true that images of cranky librarians are readily available and Picapp provided much merriment as I scrolled through mugshots of participants in this illustrious profession. Picapp was extremely easy to use - decide on a topic, scroll through the selections make a choice, copy and embed the code in your blog and "Bob's your uncle" or Auntie if that is your preference. In our teeny, tiny town where the IT guardians (or boffins who shackle our readiness to have a crack at anything that begins with "Thou shalt not..." would very likely ban access to this resource, just in case we try to add it to our image downloads on the work computer - heaven forbid such promiscuity! I could have enormous fun using Picapp to include in our branding publicity...the world could become my oyster (until IT realises my folly. This site is an absolute doddle to use.

Up and at'em : Box.net or Pandora's Box

Opening up a Box.net account was surprisingly easy and relatively painless. I had no difficulties in uploading rwo files on to box.net and creating a trial invitation to a friend to share the box.net information. I was intrigued to see that Box.net allowed me to feed information directly through my facebook page and blog and that it allowed direct access to Zoho writer editing
This is another interesting means of sharing information with people and each individual will decide whether or not this is an option that they might enjoy using. I would certainly tell people to go have a play with box.net if they were at all curious about web based activities and solutions. However, even Pukeko's do not resort to strong arm tactics on a regular basis.
