PICURLS: See what photo’s the world is seeing… !!

As you know there is a number of social news/bookmarking websites such as Reddit, Digg, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon. People share articles, websites, photos, videos and so on. Digg already announced that they will be having a special section only for images but it still didnt happen.

Here comes PICURLS, basically this website pulls all the top photos of the day from Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Flickr, Simpy, Furl, Boing Boing and Wired. You can also subscribe to the RSS feeds for the pictures from each website or from all of the websites.

But PICURLS still have space for improvement, the 2 main drawbacks that i can see is that there is no community, none of the images has any comments, at least for the past few days, all what i can see is the number “0″ beside each image. The second thing is that when you click on the link it sends you to the source not the page of the website such as Digg and Reddit, i am not if this being done out of fear that maybe Digg or Reddit wont allow this to happen.

Anyway, in general this is a very nice website, and one day it could become something if it kept on developing.

Real or Graphics ?!

While surfing the net I found a challenge created by Autodesk, basically they give you a bunch of photos and you have to decide which is real and which is computer graphics.

At first I thought it would be simple, but I got only 6 out of 10 right, so Its not as easy as you might think, just go and see how many will you get right.
