Picasa Web Albums Now on the iPhone
Google Picasa Album now available for Apple's iPhone users. Recently Google launched an mobile version of Picasa Web Albums. Now iPhone users can share their Digital Photo online.
iPhones have a high resolution screen and a powerful web browser that supports complex web technologies like "AJAX". Showing off your digital photos is a great fun on iPhone with its features. Not only you can take your photos anywhere, but you can also Search and Favorite to browse shared or public photos from friends, family, and the entire Picasa Web Albums community.
Picasa works on iPhone like its own photo viewer the iPhoto.
Today, we're happy to tell you about an extra bonus for iPhone users who visit the mobile version of Picasa Web Albums. You'll see that we've completely redesigned and optimized the interface specifically for iPhones. Pictures are proportioned to fit the iPhone's screen dimensions, and we've tweaked the key buttons so they're easier to navigate with your fingertips. Best of all, we've launched a new iPhone-only slideshow feature that automatically flips through your favorite photo albums.

Technorati's New Look and New Features
Technorati made a big change in its look of homepage. The previous front page of Technorati was just three months old.
The navigation section contains tabs, links to FrontPage, Business, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Politics, Sports and Technology.
According to TechCrunch
This is something Technorati experimented with in the past (see our 2005 coverage of Technorati Explore, which never made it out of the lab), but it never dedicated meaningful resources (or the home page) to finding news patterns in blog posts. Now, the company is dedicating those resources to making it work.
The main blog post section which is rising by attention by blogger's is divided into two, first shows rising blog posts and second shows rising mainstream media stories. They call it "Percolator", which tends to update around three times an hour according to Technorati.
Another is a special page for blogger's called "Blogger Central". This page contains Top tags with a small chart and Blog post about blogging.
