Jostens Personal Yearbook Pages seem to be targeted at current high school students, but a few months back our 10 year reunion came and went without so much as a couple pictures snapped, and without the enthusiasm our senior yearbooks once instilled. Had I known about a way to supplement our yearbooks with an added insert such as this, maybe the memories wouldn’t appear as lame as I remember them. Jostens provides a simple and fun process of logging on to the Web and uploading your favorite pictures from the school year and other events, vacations and memories. Images can also be uploaded from your personal Facebook or Flickr account. Customize four pages for $15 with your own style that includes all design, color, layout and images choices created by you, and are then sewn into your individual yearbook. Pages are next to autograph sections so friends can enjoy your photos while signing their names. You can even “share” your pages among friends so that even if you are far apart, you can include pictures that someone else may have taken.

The Twitter-verse is getting more and more crowded with sites that want in on a piece of the buzz. For example, there are six URL shorteners supported by TweetDeck alone “" this and URL shorteners are still of arguably questionable value. Who knows how many Twitter clients are available on the App Store. Likewise, we count four services that will tweet a link to a picture. Well, now there’s one more “" but this one’s a heavyweight.

Where to click to tweet an image from Flickr.

Flickr is the Internet’s single biggest photo destination. More users upload, comment on, and download pictures from Flickr than anywhere else. It would make sense that many these highly connected, technologically forward thinking individuals would love to tweet their photos. But until now, their Twitter and Flickr photo services were worlds apart.

Last night, Flickr flicked the switch on their own photo tweeting service, Flic.kr. Now users can click “blog this” anywhere on Flickr, type in their tweet “" keeping it under 114 characters so the picture URL fits “" and Flickr will post to Twitter for them, complete with its own special Flic.kr shortened URL, like this one on our Twitter. (By the way, you are following us, right? Good.)

Likewise, mobile users can email the photo to their own special email address, putting their tweet in the subject line of the email. Flickr, long the king of publishing APIs, has also published one for this service, meaning it’s very likely you could see Flic.kr integration in all of your third-party Twitter applications.

Of course, if you’re still scratching your head and thinking “what’s the point of Twitter anyway?” this is likely of little value to you and you probably already stopped reading. But for those still with us, Twitter could see a second Oprah-like rush of users join from Flickr, which is only a good thing for everyone else using these services.

As megapixel quality increases and camera optics greatly improve, photo size greatly increases as well and sharing large photos through email can create quite a challenge, not just for the sender but the recipient as well.

Memeo Inc., a California-based company is ready to take on the challenge with a new product called Memeo Share. Memeo share is a desktop application designed for Microsoft Windows XP that allows users to upload photos to Memeo’s servers where other the recipient(s) can automatically download the full quality photos to be viewed. The service also features a setting that allows the user to upload pictures directly to Facebook and is an overall easy way to transfer photos among computers.

My experience with the photo sharing application left much more to be desired. The download and install was very quick and user friendly but I felt many other photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Photo Bucket or even Apple’s Mobile Me service offers many more options such as RSS feeds, embed codes, photo editors, comments and better photo tagging options, without the need to download and install an application. The interface of the application was designed well and very user simple and the performance of was good as well. The application ran well and seemed to work well without using hardly any system resources.

Overall I just can’t use using Memeo Share as a primary photo sharing application. Sure, it’s better than email, but Flickr and Photobucket provide far more features in a web experience and give Memeo Share a run for it’s money.  Though I’m not a huge fan of Memeo Share, you can give it a try for yourself and let others know your experience by commenting below.
