สำหรับธุรกิจหนังสือดิจิตอล เมื่อ Google One Pass เกิด .. iBook, Kindle อาจร้อนๆ หนาวๆ ได้ เนื่องจากจุดเด่นที่แตกต่างของ One Pass เป็นเหมือนระบบเปิดที่ Based on Web ที่เปิดกว้างมากกว่า Apple และ Amazon ที่ยังเป็นเหมืิอนระบบปิด ของใครของมัน และที่สำคัญคือผู้ใช้สามารถสร้างผลงานได้เองพร้่อมตีพิมพ์โดยเครื่องมือง่ายๆ ที่ Google เตรียมไว้ให้แล้ว สำหรับผู้อ่านก็สามารถอ่านทางหน้าคอม, Tablet รวมไปถึงทาง Smart Phone ต่างๆ ได้โดยง่าย
สิ่งต่างที่สำคัญที่ Google เหนือกว่า iBook และ Kindle คืิอ "การคิดค่าส่วนแบ่งเพียงเล็กน้อย" เพียง 10% ในขณะที่ Apple คิดที่ 30% จากรายได้ โดย Eric Schmidt, CEO ของ Google เองก็ได้บอกว่า "Google ไม่ได้เน้นว่าจะทำกำไรตรงนี้ แต่อยากให้เกิดกำไรไปยังเจ้าของผู้ผลิต Content ดีๆ"
Blogger และเหล่านักเขียนมีโอกาสรวยด้วยตัวเองง่ายๆ จาก Model ของ One Pass ที่ปรับรูปแบบให้ Subscribe ได้มากมายตั้งแต่หนังสือเป็นเล่มๆ ครบทุกบททุกตอน จนกระทั่งเรื่องเดียวตอนเดียว หรือลงทะเบียนวันนี้ฟรีอ่านย้อนหลัง ฯลฯ โดยการสมัครผ่านทางหน้าเว็บหรือทาง Mobile ซึ่งหมายถึงทุกๆ Subscription ก็คือรายได้
เป็นอีกทางเลือกหนึ่ง สำหรับเจ้าของ content เช่นนักเขียนต่างๆ .. ให้ลองลืมวิธีการดั้งเดิมสำหรับ Publish (เผยแพร่) ซึ่งในความรู้สึุกถึงคำว่า Publishing เดิมๆ ยังมีแต่ภาพของการตีพิมพ์ลงบนกระดาษ และกระจายสินค้า (Distribute) ผ่านทางสายส่ง แต่คราวนี้ Google เป็นสำนักพิมพ์ (Digital) ให้พร้อมเครื่องมีที่ช่วยให้จัด Artwork ได้ง่าย พร้อมทั้งเป็นสายส่งให้ทั่วโลก แล้วก็เก็บค่าบริหารจัดการ ไม่ต่างกับที่ Google เปลี่ยนวงการ Advertising ด้วย Adwords ที่ทำให้ Google ร่ำรวยและ Advertising Model ที่เปลี่ยนไปสู่ยุคดิจิตอลที่ในที่สุดแล้วประโยชน์ที่แท้จริงก็เกิดขึ้นทุกๆ ฝ่้าย ทั้งผู้ส่งสาร, ผู้รับสาร และผู้ส่งสาร ซึ่งก็คือ Google นั่้นเอง ... It's Win-Win-Win Situation !!
I’ve had a thought in the past that it wouldn’t be a difficult task to carry a GPS device whilst you’re out-and-about and taking photos then, back at home, load up the GPS data into a utility and have it scan through your photos adding GPS EXIF information to photos where dates and times matched (or were closed enough.) Of course, someone has usually written it before you so a quick search has highlighted a few already.
The first is called Photo Studio and is fairly self-contained and, more importantly, free! The site also provided details on how to add the GPS info.
The second is called RoboGEO but this one costs money – however, it’s not much and the chances are they’ll be more support.
I also found an interesting list of GPF software but haven’t had the chance to look through it.
An interesting evaluation has been made between Flickr, Picasa and Panoramio and how to visualise pictures on maps.
OziPhotoTool is a free download but requires the Java Runtime installed or, and probably the better solution, a larger download that includes the runtime itself.
GPSPhotoLinker – another free tool but for those in the world with a Mac!
Geosetter looks pretty cool but I haven’t I’m not sure whether it performs updates in batches.
GPS Visualizer isn’t quite what I’m looking for but it’s an interesting tools nevertheless and worth noting here.
Download Pro is another purchasable bit of software for addin GeoTags.
And before I forget GPSBabel should be able to convert between GPS file formats so I should be able to get my Garmin to work with any of these tools.
At some point when I’ve got myself some photos and corresponding GPS information, I’ll download these tools and compare them. But for now, it will have to wait.
