Certain search engines are specialised in video or music search, some are good with information text. If you need to search images, we usually go for google image search or flickr or some image search engines. Have you ever thought of searching on eight major search engines at one go ? Yes, you can do with Cyclops.

30,000 servers! How?
Before 18 Months back Facebook had about 10,000 servers but in those 18 months, the company has seen lot of growth an had borrowed a sum of $100 million which was probably for setting up 20,000 servers.

600,000 Images served every second!
Facebook, has 300 Million Active users which have stored 80 Billion Images in their servers and they are accessed at the rate of 600,000 Images per second!

Well, with 300 million users and growing Facebook stores 25 TB of data daily and when this is compared to U.S postal mail service, it’s 1000 times more!

You take a Funny Pic on your iPhone. Ok. Then you post it to Twitter, FaceBook, Flickr and so on. But isn’t it hectic to go to every site and upload it or upload it to it, from different apps on your iPhone?

PhotoScatter [iTunes Link] comes to rescue. It Saves times and increases efficiency. Available for $0.99 on iTunes Store (Now for free also!) does it all in one shot and uploads to Facebook, Twitter (Twitpic), Flickr, ShutterFly, PhotoBucket, Picasa for now (More to be added in further versions).

It’s a very useful pic for Photographers who have very less time to do the uploading stuff. In one Shot, Multiple Services. I love it!

It has been developed by UniqueApps which  has developed TweetGlobe too. This app is made by my friend, Ryan who is the Creator of Unique Apps. I would like to request you, if you could help his app reach the Top 25 Apps! 

What you got to do to upload pics is very simple. 

  • Configure you account settings for the websites u want to upload to.
  • Take a Pic or select a Existing Photo
  • Select the services you want to Upload
  • You Can add Title and Description too
  • Then Sit back and Relax.

Here’s one Pic on how to select services
