BigScreen Photos giveaway
My buddy Niall has finally finished BigScreen Photos 2. What’s BigScreen Photos 2? Well, It’s a Vista Media Center add-in which allows you to browse Flickr on your media center in all its 10′ glory.
This is an awesome app, I’ve been playing with it for over 6 months in beta and am so happy to see it finally released. Niall has done an amazing job.
This is the only Media Center add-in which my wife can’t live without (and that’s saying something).
So, if you’re running VMC then mosey on over to BigScreen Global and try out BigScreen Photos.
Niall has also generously given me a 2 x BigScreen Photos 2 and 2 x BigScreen Weather 2 licences to give away. So, if you want one leave a comment below or email me and I’ll choose one randomly (competition ends Sunday Jan 30, 08).
Jeremy Cath (offbeat mammal) makes a comparison with BSP and Dave Winer’s FlickrFan. I quite agree with Loren Feldman’s take on FlickrFan: “[Dave Winer] has come out with a technology which will place pictures on your screen when you’re not using your computer”. As much as I like the idea of a Flickr screen saver, I find it quite useless and have since I first tried Slickr.
BigScreen Photos 2 is radically different as it’s about actively and communality viewing photos on a big display.
UPDATE (14 Feb 2008): Congratulations to my special little valentines, Mitch Denny and Mark Killmer who won the prizes!

I know where you live. give me those licences or else…

Mussst… have… Photos…
Hey dude, any chance you could put a screencast together of this bad boy in action?
A big screen weather licence would be nice :)
Hey speaking of media centre. i don’t suppose you’ve got an inside line on how to fix the pictures slideshow mode to use the EXIF Orientation data of photos on a shared folder (not photos imported by the wizard)?
That missing feature is really annoying me.

@jba: what? you don’t like to rotate every single image individually? :-)
