an iCloud-connected Apple TV. On all devices, you need to be viewing the photo you want to “like” or
comment on to perform either function.
On iOS devices and in iPhoto on the Mac, a small speech bubble icon ( ) appears below each
Shared Photo Stream photo. Tapping or clicking the speech bubble allows you to add a comment or
“like” the photo. On an Apple TV, you need to select the photo with the center button on the remote
and then click again to “like” a photo. Clicking the center button one more time removes your “like.”
PC users must access the Photo Stream from the Favorites section in a Windows Explorer window
and click Comments on a specific photo to “like” it or comment on it.
Share Photo Journals with the iPhoto App
It's my humble opinion that, if you're an iOS and iCloud user, you should use as many of Apple's
own apps to fully take advantage of the services you get for free; in this case, Photo Stream. I'm not
saying that other apps shouldn't get a look, as there are plenty of great applications for photo sharing
in the App Store, some that even include iCloud support, but you really can't go far wrong if you use
an app made by the same folks who brought you the device you're using and the cloud services it ac-
cesses.
That's why I believe the iPhoto app for iOS is such a great tool, especially for iPad users. It offers
advanced editing features, access to your Photo Stream photos, and — the best part — Photo Journals
(shown Figure 5-11). Photo Journals is a quick and easy way to create and publish a gallery of your
best snaps without touching a computer or writing a line of code.
