You often would love to share these pictures with your friends and buddies, so what do you do at such point of time. You simply share these pictures with a content sharing them over the internet. With social networking websites turning out to be a big hit, the users find these platforms easy to share all these pictures to their friends. There are many ways of sharing your pictures along with a proper text support, let’s explore these choices below:

Add photos to the existing article: There are number of places on the internet like Pelham which provides you free space to share a number of photos along with putting down the details of the pictures. You can create your own photo gallery at these places or simply hunt for the events existing over these spaces (like at Pelham Patch) and put across the relevant photo there. These are pretty user friendly websites where you can add photos to the patch gallery. Once you are done with the photo addition you can add a relevant caption.

Add images to any event you had the preview: You can often see a number of previews of the forthcoming events. These give you a couple of details about the event. What you can do after attending the event is to create a gallery wherein you can add the desired pictures you own plus requesting others as well for sharing their photos as well. The request or announcement can come in a different way, so choose the way you like the most.

You can add pictures in your new neighborhood gallery: Do you have some unique and different kind of picture with you? Have you clicked something unusual or weird and something beautiful? If yes, you can certainly think of sharing them over any of your new neighborhood gallery. At places like the Pelham, you can find such galleries easily from the top of the webpage. When you add these pictures, you have the choice to add your own caption and gain your own photo credit.

You can add picture at daily sports digest: This feature is something at Pelham Patch wherein you are allowed to share photos along with text about the number of sporting events you have in the area. This is again a simple thing to do, just click on the said sports digest gallery and add the picture of your choice. And don’t forget to jot down a couple of details about the sporting event.

There are number of photo management and sharing tools and applications seen at various websites like Flickr, Pelham Patch Picasa and so on where you can share any number of photos along with a proper text content. In fact sharing photos with a text is the most favorite activity for a wide range of internet users all across the world. As per one research, 60 percent and more people love to share pictures on the web at various places. And with digital cameras and cell phone cameras this thing has become pretty easy and quick.

Google+ vs. Facebook

Even as adoption of Google Plus by new users seems to be slowing down a bit less than three months
after its launch in June 2011, the experts are yet undecided as to who will win the battle for number one
place in the social networking arena, Google Plus or Facebook. The bitter lessons that the Internet giant
learned in the social media space with Google Buzz and Google Wave may stand it in good stead, but
in the modern open source age, lessons are really out there for all to learn. Facebook’s privacy controls
debacle has not resulted in a significant drop in active users, following a concerted campaign to educate
them about existing and new features.

Look at how the two social networking platforms stack up against each other when compared from an
end-user perspective.

1. A suite of web services versus a standalone social network.

Facebook, a social network has become a part of our daily lives. While, the highest number of Google
Plus adopters were existing users of other Google services, such as Gmail, Picasa, Google Reader, and
Google Docs. The reason was the ease with which this social networking platform allowed all these
services to be integrated into one place. In addition, for people not using the other web services, joining
Google Plus gives instant and single log-in access not only to all of the services, but also allows users to
use features of other services without actively using them. Google has also cleverly repackaged other
services and built them into Google Plus in a similar way, such as multi-user text and video chat, and a
feed reader in the form of the Sparks feature.

2. Multi-user real time video chat.

The “next big thing” was due in the realm of video chat for quite a while, but no one had really
anticipated the top grade multi-user video chat that came with Google Plus. With surprising image and
streaming quality even on middle of the road broadband line, Hangout really pushes the envelope as far
as technical finesse is concerned. Even though, Facebook came out with a plain vanilla video chat option
soon after, Google has gained the lead as far as this aspect is concerned.

3. Privacy features out in public.

Many observers ascribe the phenomenal early adoption rate of Google Plus to the privacy issues with
the Facebook way of sharing everything with everyone by default. Google Plus circumvents this with
the concept of independent Circles of contacts, letting you share specific content with particular sets
of people. Facebook has a similar level of sharing control called lists, but this was something that many
people were either unaware of or found complicated to access and utilize. Of late, though, Facebook has
begun putting its privacy tweaks out in the open in an attempt to reassure its users.

4. A difficult to beat network in terms of numbers.

Facebook has the incredible advantage of 750 million users, something that Google Plus can only look
at longingly for the near future. With this huge user base and a seven-year lead in the social networking
field, Facebook is at a clear advantage.

5. Innovative users find hidden value in Google Plus.

The fact that Google is often seen as the lone voice in the wilderness against the evil empire of
corporate monopoly has seen a greater adoption of its services by the creative, alternative-lifestyle
population. One of the first trends that set Google Plus apart from Facebook was the innovative ways
that people began using the features on it, from real time video blogging and collaborative writing, to using the streams as classrooms, life-hack tutorials and discussion centers.

At the end of an unbiased pros and cons analysis, it is clear that for those wanting to get on to the social
network to find and reconnect with long lost school friends and family members, Facebook is still the
preferred destination with its sheer volume of users. To date, there has been little in terms of front page
features that set the Stream of Google Plus apart from Facebook’s Wall. The privacy control offered
by Circle is really just a tweak on the List feature, and with the new campaign to promote its privacy
features, Facebook is fast shedding its risky image. For those who migrated to Google Plus thinking it is
a more serious platform, well, you might not have noticed the games tab that has shown up over the
last month! However, the video chat feature in Google Plus is really cool, and it will take some effort to
match it. For users already on other Google services, there is a lot of comfort in this Taco-Bell-meets-
KFC application. But other than these two, there is little to write home about as far as Google Plus is
concerned. For all purposes, both these giants are equally placed in the battle for the social media log-
ins.

Google Chrome Book Review

Net-books have taken some interesting leaps and dives in their sales since their arrival on the market a few years ago. Popular for their simplicity and portability, netbooks are mainly used by those who need minimal desktop functionality, reliable access to the web, and who do not necessarily need the processing capabilities of full-functioning laptops. Google has taken notice of this trend, and has brought a laptop of its own onto the market, called the Chromebook. They face some fierce competition with the ever-growing popularity of tablets and other mobile devices, so let’s take a look at how they stack up.

Google Chrome Book

Minimalistic

Google's new laptops come with a twist. Most of the Chromebook's design is inspired by the netbook, but it comes without Windows, Mac, or even any flavor of UNIX that you may be familiar with installed. Instead, it runs its own Chrome OS, which is designed to integrate with web applications optimally. Chrome OS is very fast, but this comes at the cost of minimal desktop functionality.

Adaptable

Chrome OS was designed to adjust to changing trends in personal computing. Google has noted that most consumer applications have moved to the web where they are more convenient to access, as they can be used from a web browser. Chrome OS has been designed under the assumption that, for many people, desktop functionality is superfluous. By doing away with desktops, they've made a very fast browser-OS hybrid that can run on limited hardware, but that still gives consumers access to all the services they use most often.

Viruses

Another advantage gained by throwing away the desktop is the reduced impact of viruses. Since almost nothing is stored locally, almost nothing is at stake if you have to purge and reinstall your system. This benefit extends to almost any kind of system failure.

Specs

Chrome OS is technically a Linux distribution, which should please hackers. However, the Chromebook's hardware specs are humble. They are designed with portability and endurance in mind, with approximately eight hours of battery life and weighing only 3.75 lbs, but sporting much lesser memory and processing power. At the moment, Chromebooks are manufactured by Samsung and Acer, and their specs are comparable to other netbooks in the $400-$500 price range.

Pitfalls

There are a few caveats to potential Chromebook users. First, the minimal amount of local storage can lead to some frustration. As an example, if one were to insert an SD card filled with images into a Chromebook, one wouldn't be able to store any of them except through Picasa or another similar service. Chromebooks also have few USB ports, not exceeding two in any of the models yet released. Some have criticized the keyboard's design, which replaces the functions keys seen on most laptops with keys that are exclusively used for browser navigation.

But, the greatest worry for Chromebook users is its complete impotence when deprived of an internet connection. In fact, Chrome OS's only notable persistent application is a light-weight edition of Angry Birds. 3G and 4G data plans are available through Verizon starting at $30 per month, but this is a weak solution for writers, developers, students, or anyone else who needs access to their data on a whim, never mind some capricious wireless router.

The Chromebook is still in its infancy, and there may be improvements to come. Despite its flaws, it's the only computer of its kind, and it will be exciting to see how it develops in the future. In particular, one wonders how users might contribute to the project via Chromium OS, the developer-oriented and open-source version of Chrome OS. I have a feeling that, as a Google product, it's unlikely to fail outright.
