Photo sharing – TiVo style
TiVo announced today that they’ve partnered with Picasa and Photobucket to allow TiVo viewers to view their online photo albums on their TVs. Here is a part of the CNET article:
The digital video recorder manufacturer has partnered with two photo-sharing services–the Google-owned Picasa Web Albums and Fox Interactive Media-owned Photobucket–in order to enable users to surf through their photo albums as well as their friends’ and family members’, provided that their TiVo boxes are broadband-connected.
A release from the company emphasized the fact that photos are viewable in the highest resolution possible, which on the TiVo Series 3 and TiVo HD devices means full high definition.
Here is the Photobucket announcement.
Mashable also writes about this.
Is this a feature that you’ll use on TiVo?

Flickr is a very popular photo sharing website. You can find a lot of helpful information in Flickr’s own web-site, including this tour. This Newbie’s guide to Flickr is also a good start, as well as theappleofmyi.com, a UK blog post.
Wikipedia is always a good place to find information. This Flickr entry is a bit more technical in nature.
