Tips for online newsroom images

We recently discovered a very handy blog post for getting more out of Photoshop when it comes to editing images for the web.

We highly recommend all NewsCactus clients review the principles and tools discussed on the BlogPerfume site.

Feel free to share your comments here after reviewing the article.

Also, for those of you who don’t own Photoshop, Google Picasa does a pretty good job of preparing images for the web. It’s free and you can use similar techniques described in the BlogPerfume post.

Measuring microblogging

I appreciate this commentary by Jeremiah Owyang regarding activity on Twitter following the 2008 presidential election happenings yesterday.

He links to some valuable tools for measuring activity and keywords used in Twitter posts.

For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a microblogging site similar to a blog, but each post is limited to 140 characters. It makes posting mobile in that you can use text messaging to publish online. You can also use a computer that’s online. Check out what Wikipedia has to say about Twitter.
