Photos/Images: Photo Programs,Online Photo Albums and Photo Editors
If you are going to use your own photos/graphics you will need some place to edit and store them. You have My Pictures on your computer. I suggest you keep a separate folder for each site labeled images. Also it is a good idea to put backup copies on the web or a CD. Images placed on the we are usually jpg.
You can edit pictures in Paint by right clicking on the picture and clicking on edit.
You also have Windows Photo Gallery on your computer. Very basic but makes it easy to tag, caption and burn to CD's' Also Windows Media Center.
I really like Irfanview as an editor and viewer. It is free to download and is a most complete editor. You can scan and do batch editing and change your photos in a great number of ways.For Photoshop effects free download Gimp.
InkScape is illustration software similar to the commercial packages Adobe Freehand and Adobe Illustrator, but without the cost.
Godaddy: Photo Hosting Made Easy
by Godaddy.com has a small cost. If you like Godaddy it is worth it.
Picasa is a free site that must be downloaded to your computer. It is very complete and gives you an online web album.
Snapfish is free online site that is quite complete. Not as good editing, but you can do all sorts of things with your photos.
Photobucket is another excellent free site that has a very interesting feature, Scrapbooks.
There are other good sites, and many of the free editor sites, like Godaddy, have image storing and editing capabilities included.

Twitter and Facebook as Instant News Service
Ping - How High Will Real-Time Search Fly? - NYTimes.com
" When a US Airways plane landed in the Hudson River in January, the first picture appeared on Twitter. In June, Twitter users were mourning Michael Jackson before major news outlets reported his death. And, this month, as much of the nation was riveted by images of a balloon believed to be carrying a 6-year-old boy, every twist and turn was tweeted and retweeted instantaneously, drowning out just about everything else on the site.
As major events unfold, Twitter, Facebook and other similar services are increasingly becoming the nation’s virtual water coolers. They spread information quickly, sometimes before the mass media do, and their ricocheting bursts of text and links become an instant record of Americans’ collective preoccupations."

Twitter is a miniblog and getting to be one of the most popular SN sites. A good number of people do not tweet themselves very often, but rather they follow celebrities, news, information, etc.
Some college students use it for group work and note taking or note sharing.
Some people just twitter inanely. High school students often gossip on it or some even share answers with it comfortably out of sight on their phones. Many companies and organizations use it for PR and advertising. Others just use it to keep up with what is current (most twetted topic). It has been useful to get news out of Iran and other places along with other SN sites.
As with other texting there is a whole new abbreviated vocabulary:
8:] a Gorilla
and smilies
You will notice that many tweets contain links to other sites and are sort of bookmarks.
Twitter has many apps that expand it beyond just a miniblog. See the post below.
