Improvements in photo taking with smart phones are fueling the newsworld. Uncontrolled, uncensored, irreverent and totally suited for Web and TV publications, these fast growing devices, now often with 3 megapixels, are giving an all new perspective to the notion of free press.
Their success comes from the immediacy and the ease of basic photo manipulation and editing. But the primary key is in their ability to connect seamlessly online, as remote controls, image/sound capture and transmission devices.
Connect, interface, exchange, these are the rules of the game. We do not expect anymore to be served a fancy lunch onboard a plane, nor to carry extra baggage in the belly of it. But one thing is sure, we are demanding to be connected online all the time, all the way. Removing the right to use a smart phone, even for a brief airborne moment, is viewed with great resistance (the adult equivalent of what amounts to a teenage hissy fit).
Perhaps it is altogether only pointing out that anything that works must work with the Internet. Simply put, that is why smart phones are smart. As professional photo capture devices they are, without a doubt, a compromise, but whoever uses them to get the news out is definitely reaching a happy media.

We have designed a new logo for our Twitter feed. It is quite chirpy! It contains its own talk bubble.
A blog is a dynamic website that you can get up and running without basic internet skills. No webmaster or IT professional is needed to begin. There is no need to worry about fancy servers that you need to update and maintain. When people ask how they should begin to get their feet wet with social media and say things like “should I make a brand new website?” I tell them, “No, start a new blog instead”.
CleanPix is cited as an example of an innovation and benefit to the tourism industry by authors Colin Michael Hall and Allan M. Williams in their 263 page textbook “Tourism and Innovation” first published by Routledge in 2008.
