There were times when Flickr, PicasaWeb Gallery used to be the mainstream apps for photos sharing. Never was orkut or facebook was particularly popular way of multi-photo sharing tool. Even though the current facebook interface for photo uploads has been so refined but it still lacks that charm. I stumbled across this wonderful desktop app that lets you do-it-all from your desktop. With some great features as Tagging and proxy support, this has to be my App of the week. Whats more amazing is that it is available on many platforms. Check it out

Features:

* Upload photos to Facebook which includes tagging people: (more than 60 photos supported and privacy)
* Import photo Exif info into the photo caption
* Download albums from Facebook
* View your friends photos
* Save individual photos
* Support for uploads behind a Proxy server
* Windows/Mac/Linux/Solaris compatible

We all have seen tag cloud and then some good looking tag-cloud and even some ‘awesome’ tag clouds but a brilliant imagery of tags thats not necessarily made of tags. It can be made of words you like, a lovely story, a poem or anything for that matter. Thats exactly the thing that this nice site does. Enter a few words, a url or your del.icio.us username and see the magic unroll to a colorful cloud of text. Customization options include fonts, alignment, layout control, language options and much everything

P.S: You need Java Framework installed for it to work properly.

We see a lots of time-waster apps each day, but never before have we come across such amazing time-waster which doesn’t even feel like being called a time waster. Its rather a useful web app that lets you hone your typing skills alongside making it a fun game to spend time on. The good part of the app is that it lets you randomly race opponents. Or maybe you could invite few friends for a race. You need to translate the text as-is in the box, with all punctuations and capitals taken care of. What some people might not notice is that it even improves your vocabulary as a bonus, and not to mention a bit of concentration improvements also.

Go hit a game.
