3D Visualization Apps are Coming – to the web and mobile worlds

1 Comment

I expect to see greater use of 3D in both online and offline apps, and in mobile apps too, for visualizing information that naturally fits within a 3D model:

CyberLightning Oulu, Finland and StockSmart will bring together the power of 3D visualization to investors using StockSmart Apps. Currently in Beta test, the new StockSmart Apps will be released in May 2013.

Indeed, this is a topic I am doing some serious thinking about 🙂

Flickr bug makes private photos public

And in an attempt to fix the problem, Flickr broke numerous links to photos hosted on Flickr:

Flickr set “any potentially impacted photos” to private, in an attempt to make things right. However, this has caused additional problems for affected users, who found that their intentionally public photos were now private. Some users reported that they now have to comb through hundreds of photos and manually set them back to public. Setting a photo to private also apparently wipes the description and breaks the code anywhere else the photo is embedded on the web.

via Flickr accidentally made some private photos public for 20 days update: Yahoo responds | The Verge.

Websites that hosted all of their photos on Flickr now find their photo links must all be manually re-done, which is considerable work for long time sites that have hundreds of linked photos.
