Photocasting
January 21st, 2006 | Published in tech | 3 Comments
The best news I’ve heard all week (yes, that’s the sad life I lead), is that iPhoto 6’s photocasting feature works for feeds which aren’t .mac!
Photocasts from three flickr feeds. For full size. (Apologies to Carrie for having to grace the screenshot, but I’m sure nobody else will complain about it.)
While you get the small versions of the images you can click on the URL on the Information pane to take you to the original version on Flickr.
Most interesting photocast to subscribe to is probably Flickr’s interestingness feed (found via Flickr Hacks).
iPhoto 6 is MUCH speedier. I still won’t use it for photo management, but fun shots of friends and such will go into it.

What do you use for photo management?
I use iView MediaPro, but only grudgingly. Its UI is not quite up to Apple standards, and the price tag is waaay beyond affordability considering I make no money from my pictures. The affordably priced iView Media doesn’t handle raw images.
I quit iPhoto for it’s lack of speed, forcibly centralised library management (I shunt older images off to external storage), and poor keyword tagging. Looks like all three are fixed now.
