they missed using Google Earth and Geotagger on the Mac to geotag your photos. By geotagging at the file level rather than online you ensure that your geotags stay with your photos rather than get locked into any online service. Geotagger is much easier to work with for geotagging than either Flickr or Zooomr. - Thomas Hawk
Thomas: you mentioned this before and this would be great for all of us to use. Do you have a link? - Alex von Halem
Picasa will Geotag photos using Google Earth as well, very simple, add a bunch of photos to your tray in Picasa and hit Tools>Geotag>Geotag w/Google Earth and it lets you "stamp" the photos with the exact location in Google Earth. - cmiper
TH beat me to it - I like using the Geotagger/Google Earth combination as well. East and fast. Geotagging and keywording at the file level are essential - anything else is a waste of time. - Tom Harrison
Congrats? I think Y's gonna need a lot more than luck now - Adam Kazwell
Without having Microsoft as a leverage for bargaining and unless they are pulling out a giant rabbit (http://www.hoax-slayer.com/ima...) it's going to be the dumps for a while for them. I am rooting for them, I really do. - German B.
I think of it as like the "he/she" problem: a situation where nothing is quite right, so you backtrack and re-word to avoid the problem. Double chinned smileys (:-)) are kinda gross. - ⓞnor
I would not close the parentheses with a smilie, and then add a space or two after the smilie to avoid double-chinned ones. - possible248 via Alert Thingy
what if you're sad though? ):it may look silly:( or mad ):<now it just looks weird>:( but if you're evil then its ok (:<Iguess>:) ...via twhirl - Mike Lewis
I often use 'they' in place of he/she. I know there's some ambiguity about singular vs. plural, but it's usually resolved by context. I find it particularly confusing when someone uses 'she' generically because I end up re-reading the paragraph looking for the initial reference to a specific person when there isn't one. - Chris White
I use 'they' as well but I'm not proud of it and would like to avoid it. - ⓞnor
I avoid it altogether by substituting brackets for the outside parens [e.g. this ;)] - Mike Wescott
