Google+ Photos > being the music freak and geek I am, it's been a fun first week on Google+ getting to the know the new social platform and how it's similar to Facebook, different than Twitter or vice versa. Being in the infancy in what I think will most certainly be a game changer I've been thinking about how the advent of Google's new Facebook nemesis will again change our lives but I'll save that for another social-dedicated post once I've had an opportunity to experiment with the Plus a little more.
The advent of Google+ got me to revive my Picasa Web account. Since 2004, I always thought it was a great way to manage and share photos and Google did it so much cleaner and user-friendly than the million other interfaces out there like Flickr, Snapfish, etc. Then I got the iPhone in 2007 which pretty much laid the Cybershot to rest and gradually started to move photos to purely MySpace then Facebook then Twitpic then yfrog and now a messy combination of the aforementioned. As a daytime social sage, I am constantly experimenting with every new social treat out there but job scope aside, I am a strong advocate of consolidation.
I opted to remove the sharing of all my Picasa albums through 2007. There are some great gems in there but being a quarter Japanese and 3 quarters drunk I was a serial paparazzo that would never be mistaken for a pro. I don't have the time or the Adderall to go through and filter those so I've just hidden those thousands of pics in those hundreds of albums to start anew with some freshness. While looking back on some of the most excellent shows I've been to over the years I decided to take some of those pics and make an album dedicated to the great music I live for.
So here you go, 100 of my favorite moments in music captured by yours truly in an album called SHOWz. I'm sure you can recall some or many of these. If so, feel free to tag yourself or leave some comments. I'd love to relive some of these or get filled in on some moments that the Stoli probably erased. If you're not yet on Google+ feel free to holler and I'll add you [just send me your Gmail address > email marc@zbored.com or tweet @marcdzb].
