    I just tried MagMyPic…
    what a cute idea!

    (Of note to Internet Marketers:
    Check this site out for hints and tips;
    I like the way they’ve got a link to be your ‘friend on Myspace’,
    A Social Bookmark button,
    An ‘email to a friend’ option,
    and an ‘Email us with your feedback’ option.)
    And the site is extremely well optimized for ease of use.
    Pretty good! Someone there is on the ball!)

    Buzzword has the best UI from all the online office apps, but it’s not as fast as Google Docs.
