Picasa for Linux

Picasa for Linux, another tool from Google, with the same quality as Windows platform. But its sometimes too slow and when i had selected option to check everything in my file system, UnExpected error is occured and application crashed. The above screenshot is just taken when i want to blog it. Except some crashings, its running quite cool and the system requirements mentioned are:
* Should work on any Linux system with Intel 386-compatible processor, glibc 2.3 or greater, and a working X11 display system.
* Desktop Integration features require a current version of Gnome or KDE.
* Camera detection and integration requires kernel >= 2.6.13, hal >= 0.56, and gnome-volume-manager or equivalent.
Its worth give a try.

Need to say more why Yahoo is fearing about Google?

Observe the above pic carefully, particulrly the red-circled the yahoo search querybox. I came to know this yahoo shortcut only for the keyword 'google'. None other keyword is giving me the result page with the yahoo shortcut on YSearch! Its just looking funny, so i got the screenshot and uploded here. May be, only the Yahoo personnel would answer to this special result page.
Btw, Does the title apts here?

Re-organized my blog template

Particularly i changed the sidebar and and promos and all are inserted in a convenient place.

Will Tagging change the web searching technology?

As entioned in an article Yahoo's game of photo tag, its being told about the photo tagging. In the same article, a few lines states about the effect of tagging on the websearch.

Future applications for free tagging could include news, blogs, Web and enterprise search.
The future of folksnomies involves meshing these user-generated categorizations with more standardized categorizations, such as the Library of Congress or the Getty Thesaurus of place names, so you could start to connect data to allow more of these associations to be made

.

It gives us the notion that we can use tags instead of keyword searching for better results, where the users are the decision makers in the field and the Organizations need to give an option to the users to give appropriate tag lines for each web page.

Interactive Research, An Usability Perspective

DontClick is an interesting site, came across while surfing. It accounts for the people who dont want to or hesitate to use the mouse button clicks while to navigate a website. Although the entire site is made up of flash, non-flash websites need to be put up of much effort while coding. It comes with a caption: " Experience a Button-free world". It also has the statistics maintained with the mouse clicks. Even the feedback form is also without mouse clicks/button clicking. By just placing/hovering the mouse on the target text, the required action is being done. Its really quite cool, and interesting. Have a try. It starts with story as it is saying the every abstract idea is having a story. And navigate through the site to explore the world of no-mouse-button-clicks.
