Sharing content, particularly photos, has exploded in popularity over the last decade. It’s easy, it’s fun, and as a result, many websites offer services that help you create photo collages. One standout in this area is called Photovisi.

We like Photovisi for several reasons; ease of use, it looks good (nice templates), it’s free, and it’s available as a Facebook app in addition to the Photovisi website. We’ve tested out both methods (Facebook, and their website) for creating collages, and both prove to be outstanding.

There are basically three steps involved in the creation process – first you choose a template (shown below are some examples), add your photos (you browse for photos already saved on your computer), crop photos if you’d like, and then you can save, download, and or print your collage. As you are creating your collage, you can select a background color or choose an image to be displayed as your background.

When you’re ready to save your collage, choose the resolution you’d like for your download – 800×600, 1024×768, or 1600×1200. Additionally, Photovisi has partnered with Zazzle so that you can print your collage as magnets, postcards, mugs and more.

If you’re using the Facebook app, you choose an album of photos you’ve already uploaded to Facebook to work with. When you save your collage to Facebook, you can post it to your profile and save it to an album. Below is an actual collage that I created using photos from an album I had already uploaded to Facebook.

You’ll see one ad at the top of the page (I saw ads for Google’s Picasa and Intuit), but good services have to make money somehow, and it’s really the only ad you’ll come across, so it’s not bad.

One feature we would like to see would be integration with online photo services. Instead of browsing for photos on the computer, it would be great to be able to access collections from sites like Flickr, Smug Mug, etc. Other than that, we’re impressed with Photovisi. It produces great results for the amount of effort required to create a collage and will be fun to share with family and friends.

AOL released a list of 20 million search queries yesterday that was made up from 500,000 users. You didn’t need special permission to download the file but you had to be willing to wait for the 439MB to finish downloading. In the end it didn’t take long for them to remove it from their servers but by that time it was already a little too late.

TechCrunch has already reported about a mirror that is still up where you can download the file. If that ever goes down then the P2P networks will always be available since the torrent is already wandering around the Web.

The Paradigm Shift noticed one user in particular, with the ID number 17556639, that was constantly doing searches like “how to kill your wife.” That user appeared to be looking for anything they could find like decapitation and car crash photos. If that is just one user, it makes you wonder what you’ll find going through the other 499,999 that are in the list!

The biggest reason why this was stupid, in my opinion, is that no one will trust them anymore. They just released information regarding a free 5GB file storage account that users will be able to sign up for in September but who would do that when your data could possibly be given to the public. I’ll be holding out for Google who has proven that they fight for my privacy.

Want to stay connected with the latest technology news? We’ve experienced a lot of growth over the last year, and we thought that now was a perfect time to explain to our new and old readers alike, how to stay connected and get involved with CyberNet News. Hopefully this list will prove useful and you’ll find the method(s) that work best for you.

RSS

Stay connected to CyberNet via RSS which stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” Using RSS, you can keep up with the daily news in a more automated fashion.

There are a handful of different RSS Readers that you can use, with one of the most popular being Google Reader. Other popular readers are Bloglines, and NewsGator. And then there are personalized home pages like Netvibes and iGoogle that work as well. Any RSS reader will do, just find one that you like.

To subscribe to the CyberNet feed, just click the orange RSS icon in the address bar, or click here and select your favorite service.

Email

Maybe RSS just isn’t your thing? You can subscribe via email and receive a daily morning email. Just enter your email address in the email field in the sidebar.

Forum

One of the best ways to get involved here is in the forum! There you’ll find a sampling of just about any topic possible, although movies seems to be a hot topic there lately. There’s a group of “regulars” who hang out there, along with Ryan and I. There’s also the occasional visitor who stops by to ask a question. Feel free to join right in on the conversations! Sometimes it’s nice to step away from the tech talk, and discuss other things, although you’ll still find plenty of tech related topics there.

In a recent discussion, some of the members talked about why they like the CyberNet Forum. Here are some of their responses:

Al Hutchison: “This forum is unique in that it provides a place for us to seek help, share experiences, and just have fun on a wide variety of topics.  They support the Golden Rule that there is no such thing as a stupid question (even though I think it is for me asking) and the folks here provide an honest and helpful answer.”

Chris Rossini: In the CyberNet forum, we’ve got a bunch of people who consistently show respect for one another. We talk about everything related to tech…and every once in awhile we get off topic…but it’s all good. The forum consists of a great group of people, and I look forward to everyone’s opinion each day.

XPGeek: I never feel judged or pressured about anything, and I like all the people here. We’re like this little band of geeks, but we’re all different and we all have our areas of expertise if you will. Like one of us could recite Ubuntu  commands with his eyes closed probably, and another one of us knows everything there is to know about Firefox.

We’re coming up on 8,000 posts, and nearly 300 members in the forum. We’d love for you to become a part of it. I’d say everybody is pretty laid back and happy to help with a problem or question no matter how large or small it may be. You can access the forum from the link in the navigation bar, or you can get a sneak peak at forum topics in the sidebar.

Comment

Another way to get involved is simply to comment and share your opinion or offer expertise. Every comment is always appreciated and valued. On the blog here, it’s easy to comment because it doesn’t require registration, and if you want to keep yourself anonymous, you can. You don’t even have to provide an email address!

MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog is a newer way to stay connected in the blogosphere. With the recent CyberNet redesign, we have moved MyBlogLog to the footer. It’s there, you just have to scroll down to see it. Feel free to join the CyberNet Community!

If you have any questions about how you can stay connected or get involved, be sure to ask. If you aren’t quite sure how to use an RSS Reader, we’ll be happy to explain it to you. There are plenty of ways to get involved with the community here and stay connected, it’s just a matter of choosing what works best for you!
