First off I’m a windows user so don’t say get a Mac. I saw the commercial about IPhoto and how it could search through all your pictures and tag them for you with a persons name. We already have hundreds of photos of the kids and normally don’t go though each one and tag it after we upload it to the computer. I’ve read about Google’s Picasa having face tagging, but that’s only for the online web albums. I want to tag them locally on my PC. I’ve looked but having found anything for windows that would do it. I really like Windows Live Photo Gallery software and I’ve used Adobe elements before, but right now neither of these products will do auto face tags.

…Now you can.
I don’t know, I’m more excited with the idea of facebook working with OpenID.
Beginning today, Windows Live ID is publicly committing to support the OpenID digital identity framework with the announcement of the public availability of a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the Windows Live ID OpenID Provider.
You will soon be able to use your Windows Live ID account to sign in to any OpenID Web site!
The Windows Live ID OpenID Provider (OP) enables anyone with a Windows Live ID account to set up an OpenID alias and to use that alias for identification at an increasing number of OpenID 2.0 relying party sites-for example: Plaxo, Pibb, StackOverflow.com and Wikispaces.

Why is this so hard. There seems to be a ton of ways to sync your calendars, but I can’t find a good way to sync my contacts.
Here’s what I’m looking for an easy way to sync contacts between — a gmail account, a gmail for domains account, outlook at home (imap,pop) , and outlook at work (using exchange)
Plaxo seemed like it was designed for this, but they are too interested in their new pulse social network look good, not get two way contact sync with gmail working. Plus with Comcast acquiring them, who knows.
A search of google did turn up gSyncit and OggSync both paid software but I tried OggSync but it doesn’t have a free trial of the contact sync. I’ll give gSyncit a try this weekend. I don’t know if they’ll be able to handle the deplicate detection of the four different accounts.
Anyone else have an easy way to two way sync gmail for domains contacts with outlook?

I decided to try JS-Kit for my comments here. They have Google,facebook, and twitter integration. I can also keep using commentluv (I’m still working on getting that to work).
Tonight I’ll also be adding tweetmeme to make it easier to retweet the post.
Please give the new comment system a try and let me know what you think.
later,jb
