Never believe your Photoshop for jpegs?

I had an interesting encounter with Photoshop this weekend. The details are here:

The interesting thing is, the Photoshop generated jpegs are always big in size. And it’s been said that they use a lot of meta information that’s why it is. Now I know that while they are putting in a lot of information, they are missing some necessary ones. There used to be a time when we used tools like “JPG cleaner” to bring down the jpegs created by Photoshop. When high bandwidth became cheap and accessible, we kind of stopped using it. Maybe, now it’s time when we have to employ some tools to make sure your images are right before you publish them!

There is a question I love to ask as well as answer. Professionally and otherwise. “When you want people to talk about your product/service/message, will you make a platform of your own or you’ll try to leverage the existing platforms?”

Well, my answer is quite simple. If you have a really big idea, and you feel yourself/your company committed to that idea, it makes sense to build your own platform for it. If not, or you are planning to do a quick activity, it’s always better to stick to the existing channels.

When you look at it again, it’s not all that simple. When you try to push your message through an established channel, there’s a higher chance that you’ll loose a customer to something else. And they might not come back to you.

LG’s new “give it a ponder” campaign does a workaround for this problem. It’s quite interesting. Please go and see it here: http://www.giveitaponder.com/

Here are some videos from the campaign:

My new wibiya toolbar

Have you noticed a toolbar at the bottom of this window? That’s my Wibiya toolbar. The team wibiya has sent me their beta invitation yesterday. The toolbar allows you to do quite a lot of stuff. And I think it’s pretty cool. What do you think?

You can see this facebook community link on the toolbar. Click on it and connect with this community using your facebook account. I would like to see who can be a good “conversation starter”.

While everyone is talking about Netbooks, which allow you to login to the internet even before your computer boots, Sony has released this viral video to promote VAIO W series. Quite interesting, I must say…
