Photogenic Tips: How to look attractive in photographs

Wikipedia describes a person as Photogenic when he or she looks better in 2D than 3D. Therefore, a person with a photogenic face may not necessarily look as attractive in real life.

While being photogenic just comes naturally to some people, there are a few things that anyone can do to look better in photos.

wikiHow offers some excellent tips to help you look more photogenic infront of the camera. Here are some of the best ones picked from wikiHow:

» Get rid of a double chin. Tilt your head down slightly and try to position yourself so that the camera is a little above your eye level.

» Many people end up looking odd in photos because they freeze into odd facial expressions with a “say cheese” type of smile on their face. If you know a picture is about to be taken, take a deep breath and exhale naturally, relaxing your arms and shoulders.

» Think happy thoughts, imagine something really funny. By doing so, you’ll get a genuine smile.

» Listen to your mother. Remember how mom always told you not to slouch? Good posture can dramatically improve your appearance in pictures.

Again, there are no hard and fast rules to define someone as photogenic - it is also a matter of opinion. According to Answers, nearly all celebrities may be considered photogenic.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
