Find the Best Gift for Your Loved Ones with Lootist
4:01AM Adam Pash | Get gift recommendations for the best products for your loved one’s hobby or area of interest with expert recommendations from web site Lootist. Although there are tonnes of sites that provide customer reviews of products, it’s difficult to know how much you can trust a reviewer. Lootist changes that by making reviewers sign up and declare their specialty; users then rate the specialists so that over time you can find trusted recommendations from quasi-verified experts. Lootist doesn’t actually sell anything, instead linking to off-site stores like Amazon or Best Buy. If you’re having a tough time finding the perfect gift but you know what hobbies might be of interest, Lootist could be a good place to find that perfect gift. Lootist [via Mashable] More »

Post Multiple Photo Batches with Flickr Uploader 3.0 beta
2:00AM Kevin Purdy | Windows/Mac: If you’re a heavy Flickr user or just have a huge batch of photos to post up, the latest beta version of the photo sharing site’s official upload software might do the trick. The 3.0 beta has a revamped interface and title/tag/description editing, but the unique features are the photo set editing and the ability to start labelling on another photo while the last batch is uploading. The Flickr Uploader 3.0 beta is a free download for Windows and Mac systems. Those not fond of beta installations can get much of the same functionality with jUploadr, but the Flickr Uploader looks like it’s going to be a slicker solution when finished.
