Give your photos a Halloween touch with Google’s Picnik

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 01:00 PM PDT

We all love messing around with our photographs. I mean who does not like using a bit of Photoshop or change the background and pretend we were standing on the moon and not in the backyard. There are a few image editors online with interesting features and one of them is Google's Picnik.

Now that Halloween is close, Google has unveiled some new features with Picnik to give your photographs a touch of vampires and ghosts.

Great move by Picnik!

This is a really great move by Google to get some much-needed publicity for Picnik. Picnik is a website with great features to edit images online. It was acquired by Google a few months ago.

Google Picassa web albums are nowhere close to being as famous and Yahoo's Flickr. I guess this is a way to give Picnik and Picassa a bit of publicity.

Go ahead and give your images a few interesting touches with Picnik. Look up their Halloween specific features.

Do you use online image editors? Which one is your favorite? Do drop in your comments.

Google TV goes live and has a social layer with Twitter

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 11:20 AM PDT

Google TV was announced earlier this year during the Google Developer IO conference. Not many details were out then but Google has recently showcased some interesting apps with Google TV.

There are two ways at the moment one can avail of Google TV. One is to get a standalone smart TV or the other is a separate box to use with the current TV.

Google TV has social layer with Twitter

Google has recently announced that it will enable Twitter to be accessed on Google TV. I guess it would be an ideal way to watch TV and get feedback on movies or shows before you see them. I guess its to early to say but I think having a Facebook app on Google TV might be a better idea than Twitter.

Why Google TV is a great idea?

I guess with the rise of YouTube, Google has realized that in about 10 years from now a major part of Television might end up being broadcast over the internet. Thus Google having a platform like Google TV powered by their experience with cloud could be a major revenue earner for Google.

At the moment you we might not have the option of getting Google TV in India, but you might want to check out the video below which showcases its apps.
