Flickr provides a unique email upload address feature. You can use your own unique address to email your photos directly into your Flickr account from your camera phone or your email program. You can send your photographs to this email address as attachments and they’ll show up in Flick Photo gallery almost instantly. The subject line of email becomes the photo’s title while the body of the email becomes the photo’s description.
You can set up a special email address to automatically post photos to your blog. You'll also need to set up posting to your blog from Flickr if you haven't already.

ACD Systems has announced the release Canvas 11, the single most cost-effective, integrated solution for the creation, enhancement, presentation, and sharing of technical illustrations and graphics. Canvas 11 is an indispensable tool for those who create and work with technical illustrations in numerous professions including engineers, drafters, architects, documentation specialists, technical writers, designers, creative directors, and marketing professionals.
New features of Canvas 11
Illustrations, Graphics & Publishing: Import, edit, and export data faster and from a wider variety of sources including AutoCAD® 2007, Microsoft® Office 2007, and Adobe® Photoshop® CS, and more than 80 others. Align and distribute objects in relation to a defined key object. You now have greater control with separate alignment and distribution controls. It’s never been so easy to bring together all project documents, images and data - even legacy files from obscure formats or obsolete products - into a single, integrated design application.
Create with Confidence: Create vector objects from color, grayscale, or black & white images with the enhanced Auto Trace command. Define grid and ruler settings from a variety of unit measurements and add customizable dimensions to your designs. Canvas’ micron-level precision and virtually unlimited objects and control point specifications ensure that the accuracy of your design is maintained throughout all aspects of the process from concept to finish. Enjoy designing in Canvas’ modern user interface that is also certified for Windows Vista™.
Capture your Audience: Have greater design flexibility with your digital photos. Canvas now includes various RAW image filters, including Canon CR2 & CRW, Kodak DCR, and AT&T DJV, among many others. Create stunning and informative visuals with Canvas’ proprietary Sprite technologies. Apply live transparency effects and image filters to images, text, and illustrations without rendering. Use the lens technology to create magnified viewports of your technical illustrations. Use technologies such as channel mask, vector masks, gradient transparency tools and opacity effects for advanced techniques.
Communicate & Collaborate: Share Canvas files with confidence by using secure encryption and password protection. Repurpose files from other applications so you can enhance them for marketing materials and share them in other formats. Make change requests on your drawing with Canvas’ Redline and Markup tools to facilitate the review process. Providing feedback has never been simpler.
Share your Project and Ideas: Export graphics to the Web with ease with PNG transparency support. Output your concepts and projects at any time in the design process as secure Canvas files, cost-effective and secure PDFs, DXF, SWF, professional/wide format print documents, or a variety of other formats.
With Google Notebook, you can browse, clip, and organize information from across the web in a single online location that's accessible from any computer. Planning a trip? Researching a product? Just add clippings to your notebook. You won't ever have to leave your browser window or install software.
Earlier you had to install a separate Google Notebook browser extension for clipping information from web pages but with the recent update, Google Notebook opens up as small pop-up window in the bottom right corner of the web browser.
You can directly save search results on Google.com to your Google Notebook by hitting the “Note This” link next to URL of the search result, if you are logged into your Google Account . When you do this, a mini Notebook opens up at the bottom right of the browser window.
