I'd love to see an enterprising 3rd party develop an eBay app to wrap a synth so you can embed them directly in a listing like some of the other slideshow / image viewers</p>OffbeatmammalWed, 29 Apr 2009 10:18:01 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8807177<p>The 2 worthless comments aside, I think this is a great idea. The problem I have with PhotoSynth is that the demos provide such interesting results - a smooth large canvas made up of smaller pictures - yet in reality, I've never been able to achieve that. I'm not sure if there are techniques involved (ala Photoshop) or just that the demos were "perfect" conditions.</p><p>Even so, melding multiple pictures together into a synth does have higher value than just random snapshots. The question is, do classified ads let you do this? (eBay, Craigslist, etc)</p>mattrazzoWed, 29 Apr 2009 08:29:04 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8766683<p>you're a doorknob for thinking that makes the author's point meaningless.</p>fasdfasdfTue, 28 Apr 2009 01:55:52 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8765615<p>hey - I may work at MS but there's no way I can afford a 911 ;) The Mustang appealed to me because it's a great car, an American classic (although I'm a Brit I love the heritage and history of the Pony Cars) but most of all it's great value. I got it second hand - just before the gas prices went through the roof - and I use the bus most days for work.</p><p>Will be interesting to see if anyone tries this out for real...</p>OffbeatmammalTue, 28 Apr 2009 00:47:36 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8765211<p>It's a good concept, most Craigslist postings don't have more than small photos. Typical Microsoft - most of 'em in Redmond drive 911's, 335i's, and I guess Mustang's... Who buys cars in this economy that isn't paid $120k?</p>TwitterSearcherTue, 28 Apr 2009 00:25:36 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8765051<p>Pathetic. why? I work there and was messing around to create this synth to see how easy it was.</p>OffbeatmammalTue, 28 Apr 2009 00:16:12 -0000http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2009/04/27/Could-Photosynth-change-the-face-of-classified-advertising.aspx#comment-8764952<p>Wow, pathetic that it's got a Microsoft parking permit in it still...</p>JJTue, 28 Apr 2009 00:10:24 -0000
