ManageFlitter Automatically Sends Public Google+ Posts to Twitter [Webapps]

We've talked about how ManageFlitter is useful for managing your Twitter account and raising the signal to noise ratio in your stream. The service now also automatically sends your public Google+ posts to Twitter, as long as you have the service connected to your Twitter account.

Unlike previously mentioned Agent G, ManageFlitter doesn't require you share items with circles that include it, and doesn't run the risk of being shut down by Google for being a non-human account. Give ManageFlitter your Google+ profile URL, connect it to your Twitter account if they're not connected already, and you're all finished.

Anything you post publicly on Google+ will be syndicated at Twitter, with a link to the original post. If you want more control, you can add the #twt hashtag to your Google+ posts and ManageFlitter will only republish those entries. Do you want to cross-post across networks or keep them separate? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Pixeet's App and Fisheye Lens Shoots Full 360 Degree Photos On iPhones [IPhone]

There are dozens of strap-on fisheye lenses that you can buy nowadays for iPhones. Blame it on Lomography and Hipstamatic, perhaps. Pixeet's goes a step further though, letting you shoot full 360-degree panoramas with the camera lens and free app.

It works by taking four photos with the iPhone's camera, which are then stitched together with the app, creating that 360-degree panorama which your Facebook profile has (probably not) been crying out for. You can see several examples of the panoramas created, here.

Costing $49 for the camera lens and case to hold the lens in place, the app is only available for the iPhone for now, but Pixeet is readying an Android app which will be out in September. [Pixeet]

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." [Quotables]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5824923/inspiration-exists-but-it-has-to-find-you-working

Pablo Picasso's quote about inspiration and work reminds us that great ideas and eureka moments arise from everyday work. You have to at least be thinking about a topic or problem before you can find a creative solution.

Whether you work in a creative or other type of field, it's those long hours staring at a blank screen or piece of paper that generate opportunities for inspiration to strike. (Conversely, if you never sit down to write or draw or practice whatever your art is, you'll never give the muse a chance.) Image remixed from an original by uttam gurjar/Shutterstock.
