There is a relitively new product on the web, called 500px, which is a competitor to Flickr.

If you're a photographer and looking for a way to increase your exposure, then jump on this opportunity. Some folks have claimed to have received the same number of hits on 500px.com in a month as they do in a year on Flickr. The audiences are small and the site is functionally rich.

Here is a good example of what's possible with HTML5! Come on, lets get Flash out and HTML5 in!

Google have announced that they are putting a halt on the development of Google Wave saying "we have not seen the user adoption we would have liked". They have not had the response for this technology that they were expecting, which they find surprising after the response that they had from other developers when they anounced Wave at Google I/O last year.

They say that they will keep Google Wave live until the end of 2010, thereafter they will shut down the Google Wave servers. Google claim, however, that they plan to incorporate Google Wave into their other products.

Wave was interesting and exciting technology for us at Leopard, and in a way it's sad to see it die such a death even before going officially live. Never the less, hats off to Google for their achievements in Googe Wave! :D
