Twitter Wine to Help A Room to Read

Twitter really has become a force to be reckoned with! Left and right I have seen wonderful things that have happened and helped people because of Twitter.

The latest awesome thing that has come from Twitter is wine. Wine? Yes, wine.

Twitter has partnered up with Crushpad to make two wines, a Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir that when sold at $20/bottle, $5 from every bottle will go to A Room to Read, a San Francisco-based non-profit that helps improve literacy rates in poor countries.

Watch the video below and see if you get chills like I did and also see if you can see the passion in John Woods face, the founder of A Room to Read.

Make Spooky Halloween Pictures With Picnik

What will Picnik come up with next?

Picnik is every bloggers and online shop owners dream because it's easy to navigate and has so many helpful ways to alter, re-size, or give character to a picture.

For example the Halloween features they just launched...


I had so much altering the picture and I didn't even use all of the features.

One feature I wanted to try out were the ghost images and I have the perfect picture to try it on. The only problem... I don't have the Premium package which is what you need in order to take advantage of all these cool features. I was able to play around with the features, you can too, but that was it.

I really do need to upgrade because I feel like I'm missing out and because it's just so much fun to see what you can do!
