"Thanks for the candid feedback on pricing. We are targeting 3-4 tiers, so I think we're on the same page. I think a workflow-only solution would be great for customers to be able to consolidate on a single platform. We really didn't even…"

If so, we are definitely looking into this. We are going to be adding a tiered pricing model in the next ~2 months for…"
Alan Pinstein commented on TourBuzz Support's blog post TourBuzz Service Update: Introducing Custom Tour Links"We could add them to the client panel as well, but we are a little worried about support issues so for now we are keeping it internal."
Alan Pinstein replied to Dave Davis's discussion Online Scheduler"Maybe if you could just describe your current scheduling process that would be helpful, too."
Alan Pinstein replied to Dave Davis's discussion Online Scheduler"Also for time slots; you want to literally have "9-10, 10-11, 11-12" etc and have people pick one? Or would you just have an open calendar and they would have to find any open "1 hour slot" in the schedule?
I am trying to learn…"
Alan Pinstein replied to Dave Davis's discussion Online Scheduler"Would you want generic "office hours" too? So that you can easily block off your open hours, vacations, etc?
The location-based scheduling sounds tough, though maybe you could emulate that by using our photographers feature and having one…"

Alan Pinstein replied to Pat B's discussion Virtual Tour for Wide Screen TV""Authoring a DVD" which is what you call putting movies on a DVD for TV playback is a whole big program in itself. I am sure that you can make a video loop via DVD, but that will depend on the DVD program you use, not on the video file.…"

Trigger Happy Camera Remote (for iOS) on KickStarter
KickStarter is an awesome site for "crowd-funded" projects. Basically you pre-order something that is in the concept phase, and if enough people pre-order (to meet a set sales goal), your pre-order will be "charged" and the company will go make the product. If there isn't enough interest, you are never charged and the project dies.
I ran across a project for building an iOS Camera Remote, which looks really great for doing a wide variety of things like controlling bracketing, time…

Video emails?
I went to Real Estate Barcamp Atlanta last week. One of the agents talked about an app called EyeJot, which is basically video email. He said clients loved the personal nature of it and that it's faster to use than actually writing an email since you don't have to worry about editing, spelling, etc.
Any thoughts on if this would be useful for communicating with…

Cool technology demo related to virtual staging
We ran across this insane video and just had to share it. It's not commercialized yet, but it has amazing potential for making virtual staging look even better.

Plenoptic camera under development
A company named Lytro is actively working on a plenoptic camera. If you aren't familiar with the idea behind a plenoptic camera or what it will do for photography, here's a quick intro.
A plenoptic camera has not just one sensor but *many* sensors. It's like taking a picture with 100's or more cameras at the exact same time. What's the point? Well, the point…

Awesome camera simulator for exploring photographic technique
Are you looking to improve your understanding of lens focal length, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO and how they interact with exposure, focus control, and other results?

This whole HDR thing is new to me. Right now I still have the settings "saved" when I Batch Process...meaning I found what numbers seem to work for me and that's what I use...but as I experiment more with it, I'm sure I will be adjusting for each image just like I do now in Photoshop. I'm learing by trial and error but I did pick up some really good tips from both Jerry and Chris.
