The latest Parisian fashions circa 1867 in Harpers Bazaar This week saw GroupSmarts release an interesting update to their MemoryMiner social photo organiser application. MemoryMiner is a social photo organiser for Mac OS X, allowing users to tag imported photos by who appears in them (the ability to draw a marquee around a subject in a photo is somewhat similar to Facebook’s photo tagging service).

Photon: iPhoto photoblogging software

This is a pretty interesting plug-in for iPhoto which makes the link between ‘the world’s greatest photo management software and the world’s favorite blogging platforms’, according to maker Daikini Software. I’ve made a couple of test posts here and it seems to work pretty well with WordPress. Daikini claims it also works with Movable Type™, TypePad™ and Blojsom.

The only bug I’ve discovered means that it doesn’t scale photos in a manner which respects their proportions. Still it’s only at version 1.1.1, and you can’t really complain for free.

It certainly speeds things up when photoblogging. Perhaps I’ll use this when travelling in the future.
