The article is about a company called Pixable which offers a service that allows create photo books on the Web. The users select their images from Flickr, Facebook accounts and even grab photographs form any of their friend's accounts. The company recommend to print their pictures no larger than 5x7 to get a good quality. And the prices start at $6.95 for 22 pages.


This article caught my attention because as facebook and flicker user sometimes I like to create my own photo album from my firend's photos. This service could give me the opportunity to create great gifts for my family and friends. I know that this service have been provided for different companies but maybe they have something different than the others. It is not too easy be able to get $ 250,000 in seed funding in an old concept.

The article is about a new Web Tool that can help you take control of your health. It gives people more access to doctors and hospitals. Experts agree with this feature because this could help manage personalized data. It helps people make better health care decisions through the Web. One example of this tool could be “Using the Keas system." For example, a person with Type 2 diabetes might receive reminders, advice on diet and exercise, questions and prompts presented on the Web site or delivered by e-mail or text messages — all personalized for the person’s age, gender, weight and other health conditions.”

This article got my attention because this could be a beneficial feature for patients. Manage and store, and upload their health information online take an advantage for any patient.
