Shopping for gifts for this holiday season? If you know anyone that does video or audio editing on their computer or iPad, a Blue Microphone will make a perfect gift! Blue Microphone’s Snowball, or Yeti microphones are professional studio quality microphones that can be used on your computer or iPad. If you or someone you know uses iMovie on the iPad, and needs to record a voice over, a blue microphone is perfect. If you know of a musician that spends time recording songs and editing audio files on their computer, again, a blue microphone is perfect.

Blue Microphones are USB, so they can be easily plugged into your computer, or iPad with a USB adapter. No software drivers are required, just plug and play! I have had the pleasure of using one of these microphones over the past weekend, and I must say, the sound quality is amazing. I have used many computer microphones in the past, and when I play back my voice, it always sounded different. These microphones are so clear. What I heard play back was exactly what I expected to hear. There was no interference from breathing or other background sounds.

I do not do much with video or audio editing personally, but after using this microphone, I have to have one. Even if it is just to do web chat using Skype or another application, the sounds will be picked up clearly, and I don’t have to worry about yelling into the computer microphone just to be heard. I recommend a blue microphone to anyone that uses their computer microphones on a regular basis.

Olapic is company that uses user generated content from social sites to help drive traffic and engage visitors on other sites. It can be hard to find good, engaging photos for use on other sites, so Olapic developed an algorithm to “rank” photos based on a users share frequency, “Likes”, favorites, and comments within a 21 day time frame. This ensures that only the most engaging photographs, uploaded by the most influential photographers are used.

How do you Rank?

Olapic has created a website where users can register using their online social accounts and see how the quality of their photo sharing ranks with the best of them. Photorank.me scores users based on their online photo sharing habits. Each user is ranked on their “Reach” or how many photo fans they have, their “Activity” or how much photo sharing they do, and the “Quality” of their photos, or how popular they are based on Likes, favorites, comments, etc.

How much influence do you have online? Join Photorank and find out how you rank!
