analyzing the business and technology of the web
In a recent CIB meeting I was asked about a good place to find stock photography for blogging since Rush posted about potential legal issues on this subject.
Well today I stumbled upon PowStock.com, a “Canonical List of Free and Cheap Stock Photos”.
They have an extensive list of websites for free or cheap stock photography. A couple on the list we have blogged about before including StockXchng and YotoPhoto.

I almost forgot…again.
As I did last year I will run through some quick stats for our second year blogging here at Get A New Browser.
In the last year we have…
- doubled our subscribers to over 500
- almost doubled our posts – now at 566 posts
- my favorite stat – 3x the comments now at 644
- and naturally with a rise in popularity we saw an exponential growth in spam comments – from 3,000 to just under 70,000
- traffic increase threefold
I was hoping to have a new design to start this next year at GANB but I forgot it was coming :)

Thanks Everyone!

Well we didn’t exactly get what we were looking for.
Today Google announced the Open Handset Alliance and the Android mobile phone software platform – not exactly a GPhone but a big step forward.
More details later as they come in, but here’s a what Andy Rubin (who was in the NYTimes this weekend) said on the Official Google Blog:
“Android is the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation. We have developed Android in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance, which consists of more than 30 technology and mobile leaders including Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile. Through deep partnerships with carriers, device manufacturers, developers, and others, we hope to enable an open ecosystem for the mobile world by creating a standard, open mobile software platform. We think the result will ultimately be a better and faster pace for innovation that will give mobile customers unforeseen applications and capabilities.” – Andy Rubin, Director of Mobile Platforms, Google

The much anticipated release of Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 are upon us. Microsoft let us know today that they will be shipping these new development tools by the end of November. This is great news as Fresh Feeds 2.0 is currently being rewritten in these environments and should be released in conjuction with the official release of the new framework.
Now, just can’t wait for the MVC additions…
