So, the project I've been working on for months is live now. Go get hello - download it and start posting pictures to your Blogspot blog. It's free, and it's really really fun.

I'm totally overwhelmed by all the pictures that have been posted all over the world in just the last 24 hours, using our little product. Newborn babies, introduced to the world... pictures of people laughing, playing, eating, dancing... smiling. Most especially touching were the photographs from Faiza in Baghdad - I sat down and cried when I saw them this morning.

Did you know that from some angles, Baghdad doesn't look so different from Santa Monica? and then - from other angles, it couldn't be further away.

I feel like we've helped to open a window into the world - people everywhere have the ability to post their pictures. I can't even tell you how good this feels.

Ever since I had my first website (and that's going on 10 years now), it's been my dream to tell stories on the web - to tell stories with *pictures*... and now, because I work with the most amazing group of engineers and designers in the world, I'll be able to help millions of other people do the same.

Go get Hello and get your blog started now:
