Pinterest finally open registration to the public

After two years of Pinterest's way of registering users through user invitation, they finally give way and made it open to the public.

Pinterest announced through their blog:
“We’re really excited to have the capacity to offer Pinterest to more people and if you’re a Pinner with friends who’ve been waiting on the sidelines, we hope you’ll let them know. Happy pinning to everyone!”

After the announcement, anyone can now register to their site using your twitter, facebook or an email account.

Pinterest hits 10 million unique US visitors way back last February and continued to grow up. A clear sign that their invitation to join style of registration would give way sooner to increase their users more.

Word Lens translator app, now available for Android

The first Word Lens app came available to the mobile community last 2010 and unfortunately, was only available on iOS devices. Due to this unavailability, a number of mobile users asked for an Andoird version. So now, the developers of Word Lens app, Quest Visual, finally heard the people's plea by making it available on Android through Google Play.

The Word Lens translates captured texts/words on an Android device's camera from one language to another. The app includes an optical character recognition and a dictionary making it functional without an internet connection. To add with the original packed language translation, Quest Visual added Italian/English and French/English pairs to the original Spanish/English language translation which are now available on both iOS and Android platforms. To know more about the Word Lens app, check out Quest Visual's site.

Swiss Website Lets You Hike through the Alps without a single Sweat

Have you been dreaming of hiking through the beautiful Alps mountain one day and see all the beautiful sceneries that lies with it?

That won't just be a dream anymore today, and you should thank technology for the amazing experience offered by WebWandered.ch.

This site allows visitors to virtually see the most beautiful places the Alps offer. How did they do this? The project starter used real hikers to take HD footage of their mountain treks and uploaded the videos to their website.

There are 10 stages that cover 130 kilometers of hiking, starting from Thusis (Switzerland) to Tirano (Italy). The video is on normal play so normally, it would take you days to finish "hiking". Fortunately, you can just jump to whichever part you like in the whole travel and see all the beautiful views in a couple of minutes.

If you really want to experience how's this done, try visiting the site for yourself, and see all it's beautiful and cool spots.
