In a smartphone market inundated by photo and/or image manipulation apps, few really stand out. It’s more ‘follow the leader’ than ‘be more different or innovative’. On the iPhone for instance, there are plenty of options as far as alternative photo-editing apps are concerned. These apps not only allow the user to take photos using the iPhone’s brilliant camera, but enhance the experience of photography by providing editing options. In short, these apps combine photo-taking and photo-editing into one package.

With the phenomenal growth of the smartphone and tablet market, virtually everyone is now either in possession, or coming in contact with a smart device like the iPhone or an iPad,and I genuinely feel there is a huge market out there for apps which let you edit images on-the-go.

PHOTO SPLASH FX

Photo Splash FX is an app which attempts to set itself apart from all the others. It’s an excellent attempt by Master Minds, the studio responsible for developing it.

At the time of writing, the app exists on two platforms –the iOS (support for both iPhone and the iPad), and one for Windows Phone 7 (WP7).

Photo Splash FX

This review is based on my experience with the app on the iOS. Version 1.1 (the latest one at time of writing) can be downloaded right off iTunes. It’s a comparatively small download, at just 3.9 MB. I’ve also been informed that version 1.2 is also just around the corner which promises a lot of improvements. But nonetheless, let’s now see what this app is capable of.

THE INTERFACE

Upon loading the app, the user is greeted by a black canvas which has the app and the developer’s name. There is a scrollable menu on the bottom, with plenty of options that we will get to in this review. An information icon sits in the top-left of the app.

The interface, as you might’ve imagined, is minimalistic and offers its user a completely no-frills experience, yet it’s very clean and well-designed. The thing that really impressed me about it was how quick it loaded up – an extremely important quality when you want to touch-up an image and share it with your friends quickly.

LOADING AN IMAGE

And that quality of the app doesn’t end there. Throughout my experience with it, I found the app to be quick in whatever I did on it. The images load up quickly and any editing options you choose are applied in the blink of an eye. All signs point toward it being a very well-coded app.

There are plenty of editing options to choose from. But before you do that, you need to load an image onto the app’s canvas. There are multiple ways to go about this. The ‘Load’ option allows you to use the iPhone’s camera to take a picture for further editing, or load an image from the library (for example from the iPhone’s camera roll). Then there’s a button which says ‘Pasteboard’ and this nifty little feature allows you to load an image from the iPhone’s clipboard onto the app’s canvas. This could be an image that was, for instance, copied from a webpage in the browser, or from an app. Either way, you can take any image that you might’ve copied earlier and put it on the app’s canvas using this option.

Like previously mentioned, the process of loading an image and putting it on the canvas for further editing is quick, regardless of which option you choose.

Hostgator has started its operation as a web hosting service provider back in 2002 and since then worked hard to establish its brand in this highly competitive market. In this article, I will conduct a brief comparison between the services and features offered by HostGator and some of its close competitors - GoDaddy and Justhost.

HostGator Vs. GoDaddy – A Brief Comparison

One of the key features of HostGator is, they offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth to the users. These facilities are provided for all three HostGator plans- Hatchling Plan (the cheapest package among three), Baby Plan and Business Plan. In addition to this, they also offer unlimited sub-domains and FTPs. As far as GoDaddy is taken under consideration, despite being one of the well-known brands in the web hosting business, to some extent they lag behind Hostgator in different sectors. For instance, their Economy package (which is their most inexpensive package with least amount of features) does not come with unlimited disk space where all three Hostgator plans offer that facility as mentioned earlier. In addition to this, GoDaddy offers a specific number of e-mail accounts for all three of their packages where HostGator offers unlimited E-mail accounts.

However, in terms of pricing, GoDaddy might be considered as a better choice for those who are willing to go for a cost effective option to host their website. GoDaddy offers the Economy plan for as low as $3.49 per month while the most advanced plan monthly costs $7.49 (if subscribed for 36 months). On the other hand, Hostgator will cost you as low as $3.96 a month for the Hatchling plan while the price for their Business Plan starts at $10.36 a month. However, for both these service providers, the price per package will go down significantly if you subscribe for a longer period of time. In addition to this, both companies offer 24/7 customer support.

Build My Rank and UAW: The Pros and Cons that you need to Consider

Unique Article Wizard (UAW) is another link building service provider which allows website owners to launch their link building campaigns through thousands of websites within their network. Now, one of the key distinctions between BMR and UAW is how the articles are submitted to the system. For instance, in case of BMR they will require you to submit an original article. Later, it will be submitted in other websites. They won’t ask you to submit multiple version of the same article. However, in case of UAW, they claim to create unique copies of your articles (or you can submit multiple versions of your article) that later gets submitted to various websites.

In terms of pricing, BMR deserves to get a higher rating as they come with a minimum monthly subscription fee of $59 for 5 domains while UAW will cost you $67 a month. It is to be mentioned that besides allowing you to submit your articles, BMR will also offer professional writing service in case you do not have enough time (or simply find it too boring) to write your own articles. They will charge you $2.5 per 150 words of content. On the other hand, despite mentioning about the possibility of outsourcing your article writing projects, UAW do not provide clear indications regarding whether they offer professional writing services for their clients or not.

buildmyrank-BMRIn this day and age, when it comes to expanding business online, it has become extremely important to emphasize on the process of link building to promote a website. Now there are two basic advantages that you will enjoy through an effective link building campaign. First of all, it will help you to increase visibility for your website as once surfers visit the pages where you have content along with one or more links directing to your website, they might end up clicking on those links and make their way to your site. Another advantage is also related to boosting up your visibility but it is through Google.

Now there are many link building service providers available in the market who offers hundreds and thousands of links for a website in exchange of a service charge.

We have more than 300 BMR articles submitted in their system for about 8-10 keywords. Before subscribing to their service, the site was on Google page 8-10 and after a two month long BMR campaign, the result was rather exciting! The same keywords are making the site appear within Google page 1-3. Now that is what we have ripped out of our investment in BMR.
