What can I say, some of this was actually familiar too me already.
With my partners family in the UK and having spent a lifetime on calls with clients saying "whats wrong with you guys, why can't I send a 20MB file through my email. I know that email was onl;y ever designed as a simple text message service but my friend, who is over at a rival internet provider and probably knows what he is doing can send it just fine" OR worse, with "Whats wrong with you guys, my friend sent me a photo of his baby and it takes forever for it to download, I know its 25MB but the kids real small ok?"
Hence, Flickr and also the kodak site:
http://www.kodakgallery.com/Welcome.jsp
Personally, In my situation I found that the older generation like kodak better and they could go to a kodak shop and have them burn a DVD or print the photos off.
but at least you don't have email the things.
Also I found www.mediafire.com a really good way to store anything and then publish it on the web. I could just then email the link to them.
Have a look it's good.
As far as images on the blog, yeah baby, its all about the eye candy.
I'll try the image generator now
The good thing about all these things is that we are by definition visual beings, anything that helps and maybe adds a bit of humor will increase the value of the message.
We should use them more and don't be afraid to make your information a bit more human.
Until next Time
