There is perhaps no corner of the Internet so ebullient this week as the Facebook group in which the proud coterie of the Class of 2012 have begun to meet. These new victors of the high-school slaughtering grounds, these new members of the educational elect congregate here to share their varying shades of ecstasy at the news of their admission. It is a happy affair: they revel in the stories of their classmates-to-be and swap anecdotes about the euphoria of receiving an email with news they had been waiting, in some cases, a decade to hear...

At other times it has retreated into a kind of war-on-terrorism news-talgia, playing up threatening chatter and new missives from al-Qaeda leaders while its rivals are doing the election 24/7; flipping to Fox can feel like time-traveling...
Adobe is hardly oblivious to its rivals, which is why Express has links to Facebook, Picasa and Photobucket so users can drag and drop edited pictures into those applications without having to open a separate browser window. The generous 2 gigabytes of free storage (which is significantly more than the 100 MB per month allotted to Flickr users, for example) and personal URL assigned to each user for their online photo gallery make storing and sharing your pictures a breeze...
