How about one on people constantly taking the time to tell TechCrunch that they aren’t interested in the post they are commenting on? That’d be beautiful.

@David8:

It’s a technology PREVIEW. It is not a product (yet).

MSNBC.com is a sponsor too. Here’s our launching pad into it:

I played around with it using Firefox, plugin works fine for me. It was interesting to see and it does have that cool factor, I haven’t seen anything else like it.

I could see the real estate market trying to use this to cover houses at every angle. I hate most of the non interactive slide shows in their current form.

What influence would one big virtual world have on the real world? I’m just wondering.

Photsynth has been covered several times on TechCrunch to date. It’s hard to get excited when the only thing available are demos using photos from the Microsoft folks.

How about actually putting something online that the rest of us can use to synthesize our own photos? It seems pointless to me to keep posting about photosynth until they have provided something different than the LAST TIME Techcrunch posted about them. The Endeavor stuff doesn’t count IMHO.

How about a moratorium on photosynth posts…until they actually have a meaningful release for the general public. All these wet kisses that TechCrunch is blowing towards Microsoft are getting tiresome.

Photosynth did not work on Firefox even after having a plugin for it.

It seems that MS is trying to do for
Space what Google has done for maps.

Great Idea. We will need those images when
the day comes when we want to take a vacation to MARS.

I’m not a huge of Microsoft, but I am somewhat impressed with Photosynth. These long-term projects/propositions are what they are good at. They lack in the type of markets that react quickly.

Photosynth - the emphasis is wrong…

Microsoft have released another demo for Photosynth, this time of space shuttle Endeavour on the launchpad.
To date I’ve *almost* loved this technology - the means by which the software automatically patches together bits of images is ridiculousl…

Yeah! More cross-platform support!

Oh wait. “The Photosynth technology preview runs only on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista.” Never mind.

Hmm, not quite as cool as I had expected.

I also ran it on Firefox, but it is less fluid than I expected. It is more a collection of stills than a real 3D image.

Still neat, and the pictures switch pretty quickly, which is nice.

Hi Ameed, Actually we already offer support for Firefox. Photosynth is still in the technology preview stage but we’re eager for as many people as possible to see what the technology is capable of. You can get more details from our systems requirements page - http://labs.live.com/photosynth/sysreq.htm

Hope you enjoy the new collections!
Adam.

It runs on Firefox. I just used it.

Hopefully Photosnyth will be ported over to Firefox and Safari
