Picnik Just Added the Cherry


I've been using Picnik for about a year or so and don't think my online boutique The Apple of My Eye would be as pretty as it is without the help from Picnik. I use Picnik to edit the pictures I have taken of my products that I sell in my boutique.

I love Picnik because is is so easy to use compared to Photoshop, which I have attempted and failed and am waiting till have the time to take a class to master the program.

Well, I heard today that you can now post pictures to Twitter from Picnik! To do this you simply link up your Twitter account once, and Picnik saves your credentials for future use. It also lets you take a shot you've edited in Picnik and quickly make it either your Twitter profile picture, or background. In either case it's skipping the step of you having to venture off Picnik to make the changes.

I'm even more in love with Picnik! This is wonderful! To be able to share beautifully edited pictures will be great for people using Twitter to socialize and business owners as well!

Everyone is Talking About Twitter

Twitter talk is everywhere...even the Blah Girls are talking about Twitter...


Why wouldn't they be? They do talk about celebrity gossip all day every day and the hot trend for celebrities...Twitter!

The Fail Whale has been making quite an appearance lately on the social media phenomenon and the credit is going to Ashton Kutcher (aplusk) and Oprah. What does that mean for the rest of us...a slow Twitter!

Can Domino's Improve Their Image? We Will Soon See!


After the viral video of two Domino's Pizza workers doing foul things to food before serving it to customers, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.


The incident, that was put on You Tube earlier this month, has been removed, but the damage has been done. If you do a Google search on "domino's", you'll find plenty of info on the subject including links to the video and written articles about the subject.


The company created a Twitter account on Wednesday and has been frantically tweeting trying to undo the damage.


Patrick Doyle, Domino's president responded on You Tube to the unruly video and Domino's corporate page says the workers have been fired and arrested.


Will they be able to get out of this one and restore their image and customer's loyalty?

Best Blogs


One of my daily rituals is to blog hop. It's like my break from the to do list, my way to unwind. I have my favorites that I'm always checking for new content...Moosh In Indy, Jessica Knows, Dooce, Paperlili, Hostess With the Mostess, Tasty Blog Snack and a few others. I like each blog for different reasons...eye candy, a good laugh, viable info, tips or ideas. Each one is so different from the other, each I love.

I found my new favorite website...yes I know...I always say favorite, but I have a lot of loves in life and I LOVE to share them with friends, family and loyal readers!

So, here it is... Bloggers Choice Awards. This is the best place to go if you are looking for new blogs to read!
