LIFE Photo Archive available though Google

Official Google Blog: LIFE Photo Archive available on Google Image Search














From Google Blog:

We're excited to announce the availability of never-before-seen images from the LIFE photo archive. This effort to bring offline images online was inspired by our mission to organize all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. This collection of newly-digitized images includes photos and etchings produced and owned by LIFE dating all the way back to the 1750s.

This is an impressive deed by Google. I am really looking forward to seeing what they can do to capitalize on this and make it pay for itself. Can it be done?

Some Beautiful Photos

This group of pictures came to me as a presentation that I uploaded to Google Docs. So here I will kill two birds with one stone and show off some great photos and the workings of Google Docs. You can go through the pictures just using the arrows in this display, or if you have a Google Docs account you can click on the little rectangle in the center bottom of the display to open a new window and log into Google Docs and view the presentation photos full screen.

There will be a chat window on the right of that screen so others viewing at the same time can chat with each other and one person can be a "Presenter" and lead other viewers through the slides.

It's a great service particularly considering the cost. (FREE!)
