In today’s world pictures are constantly being edited to make them seem better or more attractive. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but Adobe Photoshop is probably the most popular software that is being used right now.

However, I’m not here to talk about Photoshop, but to point out a free online alternative called Pixlr.

So, let me start off by saying that Adobe Photoshop is a great software. However, the major disadvantage is the high price of the software. I don’t really feel like paying $700 to purchase the full version of Photoshop after the trial version expires. Although it is a great software its still not the way to go for me.

Pixlr has a lot of the same features as Photoshop: the clone stamp tool, the marquee tool, the crop tool, the gradient tool and the drawing tool. I personally use this site every time I need to make small edits. Whether I am resizing an image or  trying to duplicate a part of the image, I know that I can rely on Pixlr.

Moreover, the site just celebrated it’s two year anniversary and I believe that the site has a bright future, so my best wishes go out to them.

Twitter has been acting very buggy lately. It started with the number of tweets and listing going missing yesterday around 6pm which was later resolved eventually.

Now just a few minutes ago users are reporting that its showing they’re following zero accounts and the number of followers is zero too.

One of the very first users to inform me about this situation was @koridrumz:

@momosuxx why does it say I have zero followers in addition to following 0 people???

I did not believe this was an issue all over Twitter until I noticed it on my profile too. I just scanned my timeline and it seems like everyone is tweeting about this. So, if you’re one of them then don’t worry because you’re not the only one.

For now there’s been no official updates about this from Twitter. Let’s sit back and see what’s going on. At least for once now (almost) everyone is equal on Twitter.

Update: The issue seems to have been resolved now. Some further digging shows me that this issue happened about 3 months ago too.
