Google Photos Test

Testing posting a picture from the new Google Photos service.  So much easier to use than Photobucket

Is that directly from a smartphone?

Unfortunately no.  But all my smartphone picture go directly to Google Photos now automatically.  Photobucket has something similar but it would never work for me.

Just had to chime in on this to say that I’m finding the search terms function on Google Photos to be pretty incredible. I spent about a half hour just searching random words, and it was darned near flawless.

The faces search is pretty amazing, too, IMO. I searched my 74-year-old aunt’s face, and it even found a set of old baby pictures of her that I had scanned in. Impressive.

Love Google photos. I mainly use that to upload here. It’s pretty awesome to snap a picture with your phone, it automatically xfers to your Drive, then you can upload/print it at your leisure.

The image search thing is great. I use it to bust people’s chops all the time. “No seriously, you do look just like Ma Fratelli from The Goonies. Google says so!”
