The data center move is complete. We're now hosted in Titan, a carbon neutral data center in central Washington. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we finish this important achievement.
Everyone should be able to access their accounts now. Blog posts published during the downtime have been crawled and are waiting for you to read them on Classic, Beta, your mobile phone or even your i
Several Blogliners reported some intermittent issues with the service over the weekend. AJ and team have been delving into the servers to resolve any problems to make sure Bloglines is up and running for everyone.

At about 11AM PST today, a glitch resulted in Bloglines downtime. The team began troubleshooting immediately. Bloglines is back up and running with no data loss. We certainly apologize for any temporary inconvenience.

Hi Blogliners:
Some folks might have noticed that specific feeds were not updating recently on Bloglines, and we wanted to update you and fill you in on what’s been going on. We have figured out what the glitch has been. Over the weekend, a fix was released on Bloglines to resolve the issue. All feeds should now be updating and back to normal. If you're still experiencing problems you can repor

Which is best? Bloglines or Google Reader? Do you have a preference?

Bloglines a decidido renovar su diseño y agregar publicidad a su pagina principal, cosa que aunque a muchos les moleste me parece que es el mejor camino para que sea mucho mas rentable, así con este impulso de recursos que generara la publicidad, las mejoras serán mucho mas grandes, de eso estoy seguro y se pondrá acorde con los requerimientos de la web 2.0.

RSS reader start-up Bloglines has rolled out the first step of an extensive redesign, launching a new "skin" to its beta testers and starting to work advertising into members' feed readers.
On the ad front, Bloglines has started putting display ads into search results and into individual members' "start pages," with more forms of advertising on the way--specifically within feed
Today, Bloglines has unveiled a new skin for its public beta site and has announced that it will start displaying ads on its start page. The new skin for the beta is is quite well done and definitely an improvement over the regular Bloglines interface, as well as the last version of the beta skin. The really interesting news, however, is that Bloglines now, for the first time, features advertising
Beta Blogliners,
We launched a new skin for Beta.bloglines.com. The revised skin comes after much review by Blogliners (Bloglinites?) who have been keeping us posted on their likes and dislikes of the redesign. Here’s a quick peek:
We’ve also launched display advertising in search results and an ad unit on the Classic Start Page. We’re in the process of developing monetization
We've been spending a lot of time working on improving the back-end of Bloglines, but we wanted to share some fun for you Blogliners out there.
More and more of our feeds have embedded video, so it was a no-brainer to offer greater video support. We've cleared over 30 different video sites to stream video through Bloglines. It's a broad list including Blip.tv, Break.com, Brightcove, Cnet, CNN
We've deployed all the features mentioned in the previous blog post. Here's a recap:
Search
Blog search is finally in Beta, and we've incorporated some popular Ask 3D features. For example, related searches are displayed in the right-hand column next to results. All of classic's features are still there, but with newer styling.
Flickr View
Selecting a Flickr feed and viewing it in quick view now uses the Flickr API to show images at their maximum resolution.
Add Page
Beta's old add page was spartan, to say the least. The new Add page has package tracking, weather feeds, and a new feature: Packs. You can now add popular categories of feeds with a single mouse click.
Enjoy!

The great thing about feeds is that there is a selection for any topic, so this time celebrate Valentine’s Day year round. Here are some feeds of interest:
Love Quote of the Day (Subscribe) - A daily missive on the spirit of love.

Ask Men - Dating & Love (Subscribe) - A variety of tips and techniques from a particularly male point of view.
While cynics might insist the greeting card industry created Valentine’s Day, romance is always of interest. We would love to hear your stories of how you use Bloglines to improve your love-life.

We have another treat for you Blogliners who have been patiently awaiting our
redesign. Today's special surprise is the Photo Widget View available within
Bloglines Beta.We've been experimenting
with different views in the Bloglines Start Page. In this case, we display
photos from Flickr inside a Photo Widget. Sure beats a text description. We
currently only do this for Flickr, but in future releases you will be able to
apply the photo view for other photo-oriented feeds.
Here's a little before and after.

As a reminder, you can go to Flickr or other photos sites and create a feed

One of the problems with a feed reader is that you can't see the blog in its
full glory. We've solved that problem in Bloglines
Beta. We've created a setting in 3-Pane View which allows you to get all of
that bloggy goodness in your feed reader. Plus, you can get easy access to the
comments, other features or, heck, even click on an ad to help you favorite blogger.
This is great for highly designed blogs that cover knitting, design, art or funny
pictures of cats.Here's how you get access to the feature. Go to 3-Pane View.
Click on a headline. Look for the Preview or RSS buttons to toggle between
Feed View and Blog View (see below).

We've been busy working on Bloglines Beta to provide some stocking stuffers
for everyone during this holiday season. Tonight we rolled out Saved. Later in
the week, we'll talk about a couple of other features: Flickr Widget and Blog
Preview.
Just as it sounds, this features allows you to save a post for future
reference. Many of our Blogliners are active filers who like to save their
favorite posts. It's very easy. Let me walk you through the feature.
You'll notice at the bottom of an article a new "Save" button located
in-between "Pin" and "Email."
Clicking on the "Save" button creates a new inline window where you can add
a comment and save the post to a specific folder.
To get to your saved articles, click on the "Saved" button in the left-hand
corner of your screen. Simple!
You might ask, "Why have "Pin" and "Save"?" Sometimes you want article
"Pinned" in your reading flow so you're forced to look at it again to really

Last week, I met a big name blogger who is also a dedicated user of Bloglines.
I couldn't help but notice his iPhone typing skills. He was clearly pounding out
at 40 words per minute which is super-fast on the iPhone. I was really excited to
hear his impressions on iBloglines, our iPhone optimized version of Bloglines.
Unfortunately, he hadn't heard of iBloglines. I was crestfallen. I realized I needed
to do a better job telling Blogliners about our great products.
No better time than the present to remind everyone of the great Bloglines mobile
products. We have 2 major product sets: iBloglines for iPhones and Bloglines for
mobile phones.

Over the weekend, a few individuals, including some of us who work on Bloglines, reported receiving Spam from Bloglines. It was a surprise for us and the few other Blogliners who also received the emails. While the total number of emails sent appear to be small less than 1,000, we think it’s serious enough to address because the spammer impersonated official Bloglines correspondence.
The Event
Emails were sent recommending several posts on a Chinese Blog via the “send a post to a friend” feature on Bloglines. The email ended with a signature from “The Bloglines Team.” The emails were not sent by anyone associated with the Bloglines Team.
The Actions Taken
We monitored our logs and suspended the spammer’s IP address restricting their usage of Bloglines. In addition, on Monday 11/19/07, we briefly shut down the “send email” feature on Bloglines to further monitor the situation.
FYI
Bloglines sends out email to our subscribers for purposes specific to operati
Blogliners, we’re looking to meet you face-to-face for some quality time to discuss how you use a feed reader. We’re looking to meet people who are new to feeds and feed readers. We’ve met a lot of people over the past few months at conferences, the forums on the web, etc. And we love meeting our power users, but now we need to find some users who are new feeds and feed readers.
Here are some key questions to determine if your right for our customer research:
New to feeds and Bloglines in the past year.
Consider yourself a non-techie.
Willing to do some “homework” about 10 minutes a day for a few days.
Have broadband.
Live in the Bay Area - a must.
Willing to meet with our researcher for 90 minutes during the week of 11/29 to 12/7.
Modest compensation will be provided for you time.
Since we know that Bloglines attracts a wide set of people, we want to get a good mix - all ages, home or work users. So we’ve created a short (5 minute) survey to help
We were anxiously awaiting the second week of the Bloglines Top 1000. We had no idea what was in store. To our surprise, we saw what we thought was a bug.
“Pitchfork: Today” skyrocketed 790,000 ranks. That’s right 790,000 ranks to land at 448. We double-checked the numbers and they are correct. Remember, we have millions of feeds in our database, so it is possible to jump thousands of ranks in one week. However, we will consider new ways to report this.
“Sew, Mama, Sew” continued to move its way up 352 rankings.
As many of you might have noticed, yesterday afternoon, the Plumber returned– Bloglines experienced some downtime. The team has been looking into the situation and has attributed the root cause to multiple machine hardware failure due to human error.
As people who not only work on Bloglines, but use Bloglines, you can be assured that we’re monitoring the situation closely and will put improvements in place to prevent downtime in the future.

Bloglines en su desesperada búsqueda de recuperar la importancia que hace años tenia en el mundo de los blogs,a lanzado un ranking llamado top 1000 de Bloglines que se basa como ya saben en las suscripciones en los feeds. No se si tendrá alguna importancia el ranking,pero sin duda es como para estar a la moda y también para que fijemos la mirada en Bloglines otra vez,sin duda algo han conseguido.Vía Bitelia
Earlier this week, we released another round of improvements
for Bloglines Beta:
It's Faster
Most people have commented on how fast the Bloglines Beta is, much
faster than the classic site. However, a web site can never be too fast!
Will, Bjorn and Ben have been reviewing the front-end code looking for
ways to shave time off common actions. Hold onto your seats, you'll
definitely feel the speed improvements especially in QuickView
and 3-Pane View. We hope you relish the time saved not
waiting to download. We are.
Back-button Support
Because sometimes in life, you do need to go backwards to go
forwards. Now you can use the browser's back button like on
standard web sites. Hitting the back button will take you to the
previously loaded screen.
Expandable Start Page Modules
Some feeds just demand more space on your start page. Now you can
change the size of the start page modules with a simple
drag-and-expand of the l
Bloglines has had a leading mobile feed reader for the last couple of years.
It's always been one of our key product strengths. So we were really excited to
make our mobile product even better. We were busy over the summer re-writing the
mobile code from the ground up. A new version of mobile is available as part of
the Bloglines Beta Releases. Go to
m.beta.bloglines.com on your cell phone.
When we feel it's ready, we'll make it available on Bloglines Classic.
Key Features
Start Page - Your Bloglines Start Page is displayed at the top of the screen.
This way you can pull your favorite feeds to the top.
Pin (formerly known as Keep New) - Sometimes you want to save that special
post to read later when you're not on the go.
Pagination - Instead of loading all of your posts, we parse out the posts
into smaller bundles to fit into the memory constraints of cell phone browser.
This has numerous benefits including improved speed, better reliability and
safer "mark read" be
Bloglines a lanzado una nueva beta esta vez la 1.0.2 como es costumbre en las betas usadas por miles de usuarios,se les consulto a varios por nuevas herramientas y al parecer estas han resultado bastantes beneficiosas para el lector de feed. Entre las nuevas características podemos encontrar Inline Editing para Feeds y Folders que te permitirá cambiar las opciones del feed y las carpetas del usuario,y además cuenta con Bloglines para moviles. Esperemos que esta nueva beta no sea una copia de Reader de Google,ya que todos quieren parecerse un poco al monstruo Google.Ojo Buscador
Over the last couple of weeks, we've been chatting with Blogliners in our
forums, reviewing mailed in feedback and reading your blogs. It's been
fun to see how excited people are about Bloglines. We aim to keep you
that way.
The latest launch offers up Inline Editing of Feeds and Folders. We pushed
it out last night. It looks like we were caught by
Nathan Weinberg.
Here's a quick summary.
Inline Edit Feeds and Folders - You can change the feed or folder title
name and set individual feed/folder settings such as display updated items,
display in Bloglines notifier, display in Bloglines Mobile and of course set
your privacy settings for your feed or folder. See screenshot
below.
You might ask, "What does it mean to set my privacy settings for a feed or
folder?" If you have your settings as public, your feed library is available
to the world. Here's an example of a part of
my feed library so you
can see what I read.

Last week we launched our beta site
and it looks like many of you noticed.
The overall response was exceptionally favorable, but one topic was lost
in the excitement: the site is still
under construction!
Many people thought we were done. On the other hand, a number of our
classic Blogliners pointed out several of their favorite features missing or
not implemented quite right. Both parties are right. If the beta
currently fulfills your needs, great move right in. If it doesn't
fulfill your needs right now, don't fret, we still have a large number of
features to implement and a few features to refine. Take your time.
We've been listening to our core users and rolled out several features
from Bloglines Classic which were frequently requested by our Blogliners.
Keep an eye out for these new icons:
Keep as New - retitled "Pin" - This feature temporarily saves a post
in the reading view. It's very useful for when you see a large post,

Wow! We were a little overwhelmed by the positive response our
Beta received earlier in the week.
We expected a few in the tech-set to write reviews, but never imagined the
out-pouring of excitement. I thought I would share some of the high-points.
Read
Write/Web did an exceptionally detailed review and here's a little except,
"Bloglines has me back as a fan!"
Even the competition likes Blogline Beta. Chris Wetherall of Google Reader
described Bloglines as, "Wicked Cool."
3,000 posts were written across the web. Most of these from Blogliners
excited about the return of Bloglines. I love you Blogliners!
Lots of people were and continue to discuss future releases of Bloglines in
our Forums.
But we also wanted you to know that we heard another message---Don't take too long to release additional features!
We'll be listening to you and announcing additional features going forward.
In fact, our next feature slated for release is "Keep as New."

Here i go again....
Mucho tiempo han tardado en lanzar esta versión mejorada bloglines, en que la primera característica de esta nueva beta es su desarrollo en AJAX, con un entorno más adaptado a los usuarios y una interfaz más elegante que te permite que veas las noticias de tres maneras diferentes: vista completa, rápida y en tres bloques totalmente configurables.
La pagina de inicio es mucho mas configurable en la que con solo picar y arrastrar se puede añadir los contenidos que queramos, además de mantenernos al día con las nuevas alimentaciones que generen estos Blogs.
La lectura de los artículos es la misma que en la vieja versión, solo que ahora se puede leer de una manera más cómoda gracias al un scroll que han añadido.
Parece que esta nueva versión es más sólida que la anterior y mejor configurable para las necesidades de los usuarios… y por el momento no se ha localizado ningún bug importante… y sin duda es uno de los mejores lectores de noticias de Internet.
Compártelo
Ya saben que cuando de programas se trata, no existe algo como “fidelidad”. Ejemplo? Antes de que Google Reader, el lector RSS (que es RSS?) que practicamente todo el mundo usa ahora fuera mejorado para ser lo que es, casi todos usaban Bloglines.
Esta aplicación web para leer RSS era bastante completa y rápida encargar, pero apenas Google lanzó su actualización para el, hasta ese entonces, fallido lector, trayendo características como un mejor visualizador de feeds, actualizaciones automáticas cada 5 minutos y, quizás lo más importante, que no marcara a todos los items de una página como “leídos” apenas abríamos la carpeta / página, muchas personas, incluyéndome, migraron a este servicio. (de hecho, pueden ver un artículo que escribí al respecto, alla por Octubre del año pasado. Link)

Blogliners we're proud to introduce a beta
of our latest redesign of Bloglines. Our About Beta overview outlines the key
features a personalizable home page, 3 reading-views and drag-and-drop foldering
in an Ajax interface. We're inviting you, the Bloglines fans, to the new
Bloglines beta in the redesign
cycle to provide us feedback. We look forward meeting you in the forums or at
conferences to brainstorm on ways to make Bloglines an even better feed reader.
The current Beta is available for Firefox and IE 7 browsers. Of course, the
full-featured original Bloglines will still
be available during the Beta
period.
Enjoy!

Do you know what a Feed Reader is? Simply they will keep you up to date with your favourite blogs or websites without actually visiting the site. There are other readers around but two that will often come up in conversation are Bloglines and Google Reader.Why bring a Feed Reader to your attention now? I mentioned in this post that my blog is going to suffer with updates not happening on a regular basis. Not all of us are into some of the geek side of blogging but rather than having you popping back to my blog to find no updates it is so much easier for you to be alerted that a post has been made by a Feed Reader. This way you won't be wasting time loading my blog or any other favourite blog for that matter who has not updated.Take a look at the first image which is part of a screen print from this blog and you will see a square orange button. By clicking on this button (in my column) a page will come up with a drop down menu for you to choose a Feed Reader that you would like to us
Scott Hanselman has a great post about how to keep you blog from sucking... So... I have followed a number of his suggestions. I have signed up with Technorati.com . Technorati is a great place to list your blog. It is not a search engine, but it is a way to claim your blog and add it to its search listings. Here is my Technorati Profile. And, if you want to view my blog from within Technorati instead, you can do that too. And what timing, too! When I signed up for Technorati, I found a blog post about my blog in just wonky, Rob Fuller's blog. Thanks, Rob for the kinds word and the inbound link should help a bunch! Bloglines is similar to Google Reader and Technorati. It allows you to sign up for blogs and RSS feeds, and aggregates them for you to read. It also allows you to cl

A nude beach is a beach where the users generally wear no clothing. If clothing is optional then, to emphasize that, also the terms clothing-optional beach and free beach are used. It is one of the most common and traditional forms of public nudity. A nude beach should not be confused with a topfree beach or topless beach, where upper body clothing is not required for women or men, although a swimming costume covering the genitals is required for both men and women.NUDE BEACHES

I have been included in a Bloglines list, thanks to Matt Huggins' blogging for money blog. The number of Bloglines subscribers to your feed is apparently very important to your BlogJuice, and this is all news to me. While I know about search engine optimization, all these new things related to blogging are going to be my next learning subject to tackle. I hope this will help me finally get accepted into ReviewMe for more than just the campaign reviews. Not that I think I will get many requests, but it would still be a big moment for me in "my blogging career". :)So if boosting my blogjuice with the bloglines list will help me, why not try it out.***Start Copying Here:*** Here are the rules: 1) If you don’t have a bloglines account signup for one, if you do have a bloglines account sign in to your account! 2) Write a short introduction paragraph about how you found the Bloglines list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list. 3) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below
Darin Carter contacted me about this list he started and I think it’s a great idea. Like the technorati favorites train, this is a very good way to earn some linkbacks, discover new blogs, as well as increasing your RSS count. I copied this list from Gary Lee who has added a few extra blogs.
Apparently, Bloglines is being used by several services as a way of ranking your site and with the recent release of an API, you can expect many other services to begin adopting it. I’m looking into implementing it into my Showoff Rankings widget somehow.
Adding someone to your Bloglines list is easy, just a few clicks of the mouse. Also, Bloglines is a very nice RSS reader. I still prefer Google Reader for its simplicity but I can see why it is one of the most popular readers out there.

Here are the rules:
1) If you don’t have a bloglines account signup for one, if you do have a bloglines account sign in to your account!

Have you guys noticed that Bloglines is used as a Ranking Factor in a lot of tools lately … Text Link Ads - Blog Juice Calculator, Firefox’s SEO Plugin, and a Few others I can’t even remember right now. Ever since Ask.Com took over the site … it has been added to alot of tools around the web. I love it because it allows me to check my Daily Feeds from any computer, as long as I have an internet connection … so I know your thinking … well the Google Reader does the same thing … however just like Technorati helps expose your blog and helps with your Ranking at different sites … so does Bloglines …. and I think since they have opened up the API, we may start noticing alot of other tools taking advantage of the Bloglines Data!
So here is another idea to help us as a blogging community help one another … Not only will this boost your RSS Readership Number, it will also help boost your Bloglines Stats and even give you a
Technical details about Apple’s new release of an LED-backlit laptop :
All 15-inch MBPs now use LED-backlit displays standard; 17-inchers still use CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent)Apple claims users can see a battery-life benefit of between 30
mins - 1 hour (depending on use). They did not have stats on exact
efficiencies between LED and CCFL backlit displays.The new LED backlight is the same brightness: 300 vs 300 nits of the previous gen’s CCFLThe viewing angle is also the same as beforeIn other words, besides faster time from fully-off to
full-brightness and an increase in battery life, Apple claims users
should notice absolutely no perceivable difference between last-gen
displays and the new LED-backlit ones.
Here’s a newsflash. For the first time we can se a UMPC with a
vertical display. And yet it looks good and apparently easy to use due
to its keyboard positioned under the display. My first notable
impression is it’s weight. It weighs 460 grams, which is the idle
measurement for a UMPC.
From a specs point of view, i could see some very impressive things
: a AMD Geode LX 900 processor, which works at 600 Mhz, 512 MB of RAM
memory (can be extended to 1 GB), it’s enough to power this device and
you can run Office like applications. The display is a 4.8 inch one,
touchscreen, with a 800×600 resolution. The OS is Microsoft Windows
Home Edition, it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the battery life expectancy,
announced by the Raon, is 7-8 hours for the standard battery and 11-12
hours for the supplementary one.
It’s storage is a standard 60 GB hardrive and a optional 6 GB SSD.
A notable feature of the device i
British Telecommunications PLC (BT) announced that it wants to offer
phone services through PlayStation Portable (PSP).The British
telecomuncation company is curently working on a sot wich enables them
to make phone calls via the internet,using the Sony console.That
requires the consoles to be fitted with a video camera in order to make
video calls.PSP already has a Wi-Fi adaptor.
BT says that the service will be extended for Europe,Africa and
Australia.Bt will have full support from Sony Computer Entertainment
Europe Ltd.But it seems highly unlikely that this sort of phone service
will be available in the US or Asia because BT developes this service
and not Sony.
Last year the PSP sales droped considerably,under the Sony
ecpectations,and so the company looks for new ways to attract customers.
After we’ve heard a lot of rumours regarding Nokia’s new product ,

128MB of onboard storage, media player with integrated FM radio, A2DP
and Nokia’s micro-USB port. The 8600 headset is made of stainless steel

We all know about the RegisterFly meltdown because of their financial
problems and that they didn’t received the authorization to register
domains just because of that. These days , GoDaddy decided to buy the
whole RegisterFly , and to transfer the 850.000 registered domains ,
that RF has. That means that RF will dissapear and this business should

Edit again: Neat, it works! All claimed, now really off to read and sleep. It’s so easy to get sidetracked with all the nifty blog stuff we find online. No wonder so many blogs are so overwhelming to read, they add too much crap to it! Hopefully our blog doesn’t fill up with too much crap in the various side bars. Soooo much shiny stuff to add though. heh.
Night!
Okay, so this shop is for the Creatively Inclined. Which does not include me. But sometimes I like to fake it.

Wish I could afford these pillows... Hey, maybe a $20 set of satchels to keep with my underwear in my plastic K-Mart dresser drawers. Yes, I have this ever-burning desire to upgrade my life, yet I'm still using my $15 K-Mart drawers from freshman year of college.

Do you want to find how many people read your blog feed through Bloglines? Blogger does not have a method of telling you how any people read your blog feeds. For more information on Blog feeds see What is Subscribe to Posts. If you channel your feeds through Feedburner as shown in Feedburner and Blog feeds you can find out by going to your feedburner account but that does not give you the

Estoy de acuerdo con el comentario de Digital Inspiration: Image Wall es una buena idea mal ejecutada.
Se trata de un panel de diapositivas, un tablón con 24 imágenes extraÃdas de los miles de blogs gestionados por Bloglines. En principio, una iniciativa interesante, que añade espectacularidad al agregador y un estÃmulo visual a sus lectores, que pueden entretenerse ante este desfile ininterrumpido de fotos (al ritmo aproximado de 1 nueva por segundo) como si se plantasen ante el fuego de una chimenea.
Pero esta misma velocidad de proyección convierte esta galerÃa en algo impersonal, y al espectador en un turista accidental. Falta una mejor definición de los mecanismos con los que un visitante puede (y debe) vincularse al sitio.
En fin, otro intento (¿fallido?) de Bloglines de recuperar protagonismo, el que parece estar perdiendo en favor de otros lectores de feeds como Google Reader.
Y es que entre no renovarse y renovarse sin criterio hay un punto medio, una solución inter
The hard-working engineers at Bloglines spend most of their time bringing you your favorite blog & feed content... but they've also been known to come up with some cool stuff above and beyond the call of duty. Presenting: The Bloglines Image Wall .
Here's the deal. Bloglines indexes zillions of pages every hour -- and just as many images. The Bloglines Image Wall picks up these images as they come in and places them into a constantly updated grid.
You'll never see the Wall the same way twice - in fact, it changes right before your eyes. Curious, funny, challenging, good, bad, and ugly - it's all there. The variety alone is fascinating.
It's a great way to see what's happening in the blogosphere at any moment in time. And each image is clickable, taking you to its source blog or feed in Bloglines with a handy subscribe link at the top if you like what you see. The Image Wall is a whole new way to discover new content. It's interesting -- sometimes mesmerizing -- and jus
Webcams have become very popular devices among the
people who use the internet and chatting programs , in order to
socialize or to comunicate. Some of the usually webcams are slow
motioned and they don’t send quality video images. V-gear Talkcam
Tracer Webcamis is actually capable of tracing your movements through
its auto-focus system.
Here is a list of the most important technical and commercial specifications this device has to offer:
- dimensions: 70 mm x 80 mm x 68 mm;
- weight: 65 grams;
- sensor: Sony CCD, ¼ inches;
- maximum resolution: 1280x 960;
- color depth: 24-bit (16.7 million colors);
- maximum frame rate: 30 fps at 640×480 resolution;
- focus range: 4.3mm to infinity;
- white balance: auto;
- interface: USB 2.0;
- USB cable length: 150 cm.
The V-gear Talkcam Tracer Webcam costs around 81.67 US dollars (or
62.85 Euro), which is indeed a bit much for such a device, but, on
A lot of people can’t imagine an
amator point and shoot camera that has 10.000 ISO but Olympus actualy
created one.With its 8 megapixels it can offer pictures at a high
resolution (3264 x 2448),very clear and ready for giant prints. FE-250
has a 3x of optic zoom wich allows the capture of wide angles and fine
details,and the 6.4 cm monitor allows a very good visualisation.The 15
capture modes are an important help for beginer users,who aren’t used
to this machine,and modes like Candle and Indoor can capture and
reproduce the athmosphere in its most little details even in night
time.All pictures can be stored on the SD memory card wich has a 2 GB
capacity or on the internal memory,unfortunately not big enough for
pictures at high resollution.
