Barnes & Noble, the global giant bookseller is planning to expand its business outside United States. Although B&N has not said anything about it themselves or in their press releases, the author and founder of TechCrunch has guessed it after getting to know about their plans to hire Head of B&N International Business. Michael Arrington has revealed the details in his blog post in the following words:
Recruiting firm Russell Reynolds Associates is representing Barnes & Noble in a search for the “head of their international business,” according to a source who was contacted about the position. The job entails building the international business for BN.com from scratch, hiring the team and “building the infrastructure outside the U.S.” They prefer the executive live in New York, but Europe is ok, too. Global ecommerce experience is preferred.
We have yet to see the Barnes & Noble much hyped e-Book which is expected to give tough time to Amazon Kindle.

I wonder if there is any thing that is left untouched by the Apple revolution? Every site has made their own application for the Apple most famous phone i.e iPhone. Flickr, which is a world for picture lovers have created their own official app for iPhone to better serve their clients who uses iPhone. The Flickr iPhone app is free and hence you can give it a try without giving a second thought. According to TechCrunch:
Yahoo’s Flickr app has just gone live in the App Store. After only a little bit of time using it, I can tell that I’m going to like it. The main screen is a fairly mesmerizing slideshow of photos from your contacts on Flickr. There is an upload button that is easily accessible right on the main page, and the upload process is nice and easy. You can obviously name your picture and give it a description, but you can also easily manage what set to put it in, and what tags to give it. And the privacy settings are very clearly displayed on the upload page.
The main page search functionality works well, and thumbnails are populated quickly. If you click on a photo, you can also go to a larger version loaded in a different screen that allows you to swipe left and right to move between images. It does not look like pinch to zoom works, however.
So what are you waiting for? Come on look at the screen shots and go ahead and download the Official Flickr iPhone App by clicking here
