40 free Photoshop actions (many are actually sets of multiple actions). ;)

Bunların birçoğu rastgele uygulanmış "efektler"den oluşuyor... Record action deyip bir fotoğrafı alıp kurcalamaya başlıyorsunuz, onu uygula, bunu şeyet derken ortaya bir şey çıkıyor, sonra da "bu etkiyi yaratmak için, böyle böyle yapmalısınız" diyerek sunuyorsun :)

Tumblr vs Posterous - which do you prefer? Any tumblr users/fans here? I'm re-evaluating it and REALLY digging tumblr. Fits in with the way I like to microblog. - http://www.tumblr.com/
Seems to be more FriendFeeders who use/love Posterous - everyone feel the same about tumblr? If not, what's the difference in your opinion?

I use to like Tumblr a lot. Then one day they decided to add something called Tumblarity which rates you on how much you post compared to others on the site. That completely ruined it for me. I don't like feeling like it's a competition to be the one who posts the most. So I moved to Posterous and love it so much more.
- Oracio
That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the Tumblarity. If it shows everyone your tumblr "score" it would feel like pressure to perform to me.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
I find the tumblr bookmarklet far more usable, particularly when selecting what type of post you are creating. The Posterous bookmarklet feels clumsy and difficult to use in comparison.
- Rajit
Oh as a matter of fact, I can't even use the Posterous bookmarklet - it won't drag into my toolbar. But I blamed Firefox with the buggy problems because I was able to drag it into the toolbar in Safari. If Tumblr doesn't give me trouble in this area, it would be a win for me.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
posterous - I use posterous to send all my content to tumblr. The one thing it has that's nice are the themes. Everyone on posterous will have .themes soon as well!
- Michael Fidler
themes on posterous are the only thing lacking for me. I've tried them both and still don't know which one I like better.

Robert Higgins: how do you utilize both tumblr and posterous or are they just mirrors of each other?
- BRҰANSAҰS
Jannifer, from what I can see, Tumblr puts the emphasis on community where Posterous on technology. Posterous has a cool bookmarklet and they keep on introducing integration features with other platforms. Tumblr came up with Tumblarity, their version of hashtag, and really took a lot of ideas from the Twitter community (the dashboard, like, reblogs, etc.). I use Tumblr now because they allow you to design your page. Posterous will allow this also, soon.
- Andre P. Siregar
Oh yeah, the tumblarity score can be annoying if you let it. My score is consistently low that I don't even bother. Again, this is their "strategy" so people interact more using Tumblr. You know how some people care about their follower number, how many retweets they get, etc. Tumblarity is basically the same thing. (BTW I wrote about it here http://dregar.tumblr.com/post...)
- Andre P. Siregar
The Tumblarity think reminds me of karma in Plurk and I hated looking at my low score. It big and bold and stares at you whenever you login. That always frustrated me about them. I barely use it now.
- BRҰANSAҰS
I like things about both. One thing that Tumblr does that I would love Posterous to do is automatically import feeds. I come from a marketing background past, so not having the custom themes for setting up your own "brand" is a BIG downside for Posterous as well. I want to use one as my main site, but I feel like I need to wait for a few more features from Posterous.
- Sullivan
I like both, but the email posting of Posterous is the killer feature.

@Justin Tumblr has email posting too. :)
- Chris Chua
I use both and like them for different reasons. Tumblr has a much stronger community and it's easier to discover cool posts and re-blog them. Posterous has made my overall online experience much richer -- I have no excuse to not blog, post pictures, etc. I think if Posterous improved customization and re-blogging tools, it would be a no-brainer in their favor.
- Ben Hanten
My least favorite thing about Tumblr is that there isn't an RSS feed for your dashboard. That is ridiculous. I miss a ton of great posts because of that.
- Ben Hanten
I haven't used Tumblr, but I love Posterous. Heck, if Blogger starts to fail, I can always move my blogs there. (No Tumblr RSS feed? That's a major strike against it in my opinion.)
- Dennis Jernberg
Dennis, there is an RSS feed your individual blog and other people's individual blogs. But Posterous lets you have an RSS feed of ALL of your subscribed to blogs. Makes a lot more sense.
- Ben Hanten
I like both for different reasons. Posterous easy, email based posting. Tumblr has more customization.
- Karoli
I think once posterous has customization, they will be the clear winner. I keep holding out for that anyway. They keep saying its coming, but they have been saying that for a while.

They took down the Tunbarity scres on Tumnblr. I just started getting into it. I like the community aspect of it these days, as there are some really creative and interesting content being parsed over there. I feel like posterous is just a brain dump, and who knows if anyone is paying attention? Might as well brain dump on your own blog.
- Liz
I noticed that they took down the Tumbularity scores which is fine by me. I also noticed that it's easier to discover other people now with the live updating wall they added. Posterous needs to improve discovery, unless I'm missing something there.
- Michael Fidler
use them both. tumblr more than posterous on avg. usually depends on what type of content i am posting. I seem to choose posterous for posts that are more or less text based content and tumblr for just posting images i like or pics I took myself.
- Turner Burns
I use them both, I love tumblr to post pics but your posts get more visits on posterous.
- ★Kristy
you can post stuff via email with wordpress.com now also.
- Logan Lindquist
@Turner Burns yeah I was thinking about that I figured one would be more like a blog and one for all my junk... I'm not sure which is better suited for the different types of stuff. Although I did up for posterous but I don't see myself not jumping in with tumblr

"Kurzweil's firm has a relationship with Baker & Taylor, the world's largest distributor of physical and digital books. Through them, Blio will offer a library of more than 1.2 million titles across genres at launch. Not only can publishers set their own book prices, but the the cost of converting a book and hosting it on the Blio platform is completely free. Books bought through Blio can be shared among five different devices, similar to Kindle's licesing model. Baker & Taylor will also keep a digital copy of all of your books in the cloud for instant back ups. Whatever the appeal of the software, Kurzweil's demonstration was interesting for its choice of location. By doing the demo in Microsoft's booth, there was an implicit implication that this could be the e-reading platform not just for PCs, but for a whole host of Windows-based devices."

"I'm unusually enthusiastic about this holiday season. I've already started making gifts and holiday decorations. I made a few handmade LED snowflake ornaments that I would like to share with the community. They are super-easy to make and only take about 15-20 minutes each (depends on how long you experiment with the beading). This is the first project that I've really "beaded" but I can imagine such beautiful forms from crafters/makers with actual beading experience."
