Update: Photosynth Open to All

Update: Apparently there was so much demand the site was down much of the morning and afternoon. It was back to partial operation late in the afternoon on Thursday. Bottom line: lots of interest.

--- original post 8/20 ----

Microsoft's Web service for stitching photos together to make 3D scenes is now available to anyone. Just upload the images and "synth" them. Users are granted 20 GB of space (more if your synths are "cool"). The Photosynth site offers the chance to learn about the technology, view synths and create your own.

Really? I didn't seem to have any problems getting to the site -- to take a look, and nothing more.

The title line is not quite correct - Mac users still cannot use Photosynth as it currently is a Windows only set of software.

Quite correct. I was unable to access it on my Mac. Mac support is expected, however. See: http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/08/photosynth-leav.html

How important is it that a job candidate be familiar with more than one GIS product/platform?
Required; I won't hire the person.
Valuable; it's nice to have.
Not important; I don't even ask about it.
