Online Connections

Each week, I receive this interesting newsletter about various trends going on around the world. One of my favorite finds has been Picnik . Basically, it is free photo editing software online. My favorite thing to use is the rounded corner feature, plus I can easily pull my Flickr images into Picnik and upload the edited files.

Another great website to check out is Girlfriendology . Debba is the creator of this fun and inspirational site for girlfriends. She host all kinds of podcasts and contests surrounded around celebrating women and their friendships.

As if I need another reason to be online with a bunch of scrapbookers, I just found Scrapblog . You can combine your photos, videos and text to create multimedia scrapbook pages. It is very cool.

The new internet crack among quite a few friends of mine…Twitter . Twitter is a form of micro-blogging. You get 140 characters to post whatever is on your mind. It is rather addicting and even the politicians are hip to Twitter. Are you?

Just when I had given up being online so much, I am connecting with so many new and old friends through Facebook and Linked In and of course MySpace. My alma mater even has site and I know people who are on it all the time!

It is suppose to be a beautiful day today, so I plan on spending the day enjoying the weather. Maybe get in some pruning of my garden and add a few shade plants, get my BBQ on early so I can relax tomorrow and indulge in my latest obsession, jewelry making and get in some reading. Fun times!
