Techcrunch is bemoaning AOL Pictures relaunch. I think they are missing something though.
Flickr, photobucket, bubbleshare and others may well look slicker and have more intuitive UI but they simply do not have the userbase potential AOL has from the start.
You simply wouldn’t get the gems shown here on bubbleshare et al.

So hello O2 and hello SonyEriccson oh and hello 2 megapixel [...]

Okay so I slept through most of yesterdays events. Other than waking for the odd text from far flung friends and family checking I was okay.
I watched events unfold during waking moments and was as horrified as I was in a similar situation (off work and ill) in 2001 during the awful bombings in New [...]
