Move Photos from Flickr to Spaces and More

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Mar 8th @ 10:43 AM

Nitrodesk Photographer's Edition is a WPF application that lets you connect to and manage your photos and photo albums across several different photo sharing services. With Nitrodesk, you can pick any online album and manage it in real-time - updating the album or photo properties, viewing and managing the comments, transferring the photos between services and much more. The app also allows you to backup your photos from an online photo-sharing website to your PC.

This program is great, especially if you want to move photos from one site to another, but don't have them all on your PC to re-upload. How convenient!! The software currently supports the following services: Google (Picasa Web Albums), Flickr, Facebook, ShutterPoint, SmugMug, and Windows Live Spaces.

You can download the beta version of the program here.

Das nächste Mal, dass Du im Urlaub bist, warum nicht Dein Windows Mobile Smartphone mitnehmen und es benutzen, um zu emailen, chatten, oder Fotos hochzuladen?  Mit Windows Live für Windows Mobile ist es super-einfach mit Freunde und Familie zu kommunizieren, wenn man unterwegs ist.  Mit Windows Live Messenger kannst Du Sofortnachrichten senden ebenso wie Fotos und Dateien versenden.  Wenn Du Fotos auf Deinem Handy hast, kannst Du die sofort auf Deinem Live Space hochladen, um mit anderen zu teilen.  Mit Windows Live Hotmail auf Deinem Handy hast Du immer Zugriff auf Deinen Emails und wenn Du keine Zeit oder Lust hast, eine Antwort zu tippen, kannst Du auf E-Mails mit einer Sprachnachricht antworten. 
In diesem Video, Frank Prengel, Technologieberater  für Embedded und Mobile (auch bekannt als ‚Embedded Evangelist‘) erklärt mehr über Windows Live für Windows Mobile und zeigt mir ein paar Szenarien, wie man Windows Live für Windows Mobile benutzen kann, um besser mit Freunde und Familie in Verbindung zu bleiben.

New Features in Spaces & Live Events

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Feb 25th @ 1:51 AM

The Windows Live Spaces team have officially announced some new features to both the Windows Live Spaces and Live Events services. The new features are:

  • Friends of Friends: this feature will show you the friends you have in common with others when you visit their space
  • Multiple photo modules: you can now showcase your photos in separate albums on your Space just by adding more than one album from the Customize page
  • In Live Events: now your own name and email address appears on the invitation instead of the automatically generated one. Also, public events you organize will show up in your Windows Live profile and the Events homepage now so your friends & contacts will know when and where it's happening

I'm most excited about the "friends of friends" feature, something that is very Facebook-like (which I love). It's always cool to see who everyone knows!

Put a Facebook badge on your Windows Live Spaces site

Posted By: Nic Fillingham | Oct 24th, 2007 @ 12:12 AM

I put a facebook badge on my Windows Live Spaces site the other day as I couldn't find any (working) facebook gadgets for Spaces in the Windows Live Gallery.

It was a fairly easy process but as I couldn't find any how-to's on the net I've written one myself in case anyone out there needs a hand.

A facebook badge (by default) shows a thumbnail of your profile picture, your name and the networks you belong to. It also links back to your facebook profile page.

If you'd like to put a facebook badge on your Windows Live Spaces site but need some help then try my how-to: http://nicfill.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7064430FFDBD7884!411.entry

Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live agora com publicação para Flickr

Posted By: Galileu Vieira | Oct 18th, 2007 @ 12:58 PM
Muitos usuários pediram e a equipe da Microsoft responsável pelo programa de edição e organização de fotos respondeu. A ferramenta que fará parte da suíte completa de serviços Windows Live, chamada Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live, virá com integração com o Flickr. Isso mesmo, você poderá publicar suas fotos ao Flickr ou ao Windows Live Spaces direto do programa sem ter que entrar na Web. Detalhe importante, os metadatos e as Tags, ou Marcas, serão retidos ao fazer a publicação para o Flickr.

Uma atualização automática via Windows Update trará as novas funcionalidades na forma de versão Beta 2.2 dos serviços Windows Live. Quem não tiver a suite e quiser instalá-la é só ir ao http://get.live.com para baixar qualquer um dos produtos. No Brasil, isso inclui o Windows Live Messenger, o Windows Live Mail, o Galeria de Fotos do Windows Live, o Windows Live Writer, a Toolbar e o Family Safety. Lembramos que esses produtos ainda estão em Beta, portanto o desempenho e a estabilidade não é igual a de um produto final. A suite de ferramentas está disponível tanto para o Windows Vista como para o Windows XP com Service Pack 2.

Confira as imagens:

Organize Your Media with Photo Gallery & Spaces

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Sep 26th, 2007 @ 12:40 PM
Windows Live Photo Gallery beta, one of Microsoft's new Windows Live Services, improves upon the built-in Photo Gallery in Windows Vista. The software, available for both Vista and XP users, offers many new features like better tagging, sorting, and image editing, including the ability to do panoramic stitches, histograms, image sharpening, cropping, exposure adjustments, color adjustments, and red eye fixes. You can add captions, turn your photos into screensavers or slideshows, and publish your photos and videos online. Videos can be easily uploaded to Soapbox (see how here).

The new Photo Import Tool automatically groups all the photos taken on your digital camera by date and time as you copy the files over to your PC. You can also select specific individual photos you want to import instead of being forced to import the entire batch of photos (like in the previous version of Windows Photo Gallery). RAW format is still supported, and additionally, Windows Live Spaces users will be pleased to find that high-res photos are now supported up to 1600x1600, if uploading from the Live Photo Gallery client.

Downloading from Spaces is easy, too. With the Photo Enthusiast Template, the integration with HP's Snapfish service for ordering prints, and the ability to point a Windows Live Domain to your Spaces page, Spaces becomes a great way to organize, manage, and showcase your digital photography. The easiest way to get the software is via the Windows Live Installer.

Uma Pequena Prévia do Novo Windows Live Home

Posted By: Galileu Vieira | Aug 8th, 2007 @ 2:03 PM
Durante uma coletiva de imprensa no Japão, o Diretor de Windows Live do país deu uma pequena prévia aos jornalistas do que vem por aí para os serviços do grupo Windows Live. O blog do Liveside.net conta alguns dos detalhes, já que a reportagem original está em japonês.



O novo portal Windows Live Home será realmente uma porta de entrada única aos serviços Windows Live. Os diversos módulos do portal permitirá um monitoramento dos serviços oferecidos, entre eles os tradicionais Hotmail e Spaces. O header da página será dinâmico mostrando, nesse caso específico, a previsão do tempo. Também será possível:
 - acessar emails e contatos direto do Portal
 - verificar sua agenda do Windows Live Calendar
 - blogar e postar fotos direto ao Windows Live Spaces
- verificar o status de segurança de seu PC com Windows Live OneCare instalado.

As fotos do post japonês também mostram:
 - Windows Live Messenger personalizado com logotipos empresarias e sem propaganda
 - Windows Live Mail para o Windows Vista
 - Outlook Connector para Hotmail
 - Windows Live Photo Gallery beta e sua função de "photo stitch"

Outro detalhe que se repara na foto é a inclusão do Windows Live Folders, mas aparentemente nenhum detalhe foi dado sobre a interação com esse serviço. Veja a foto e os posts referenciados para maiores detalhes.

Lembrando que os nomes, serviços e detalhes podem e provavelmente vão mudar até o lançamento do serviços.
