Web App: PXN8 - Online Photo Editor

Web applications are one of the six categories of web 2.0. I've become a huge fan of these apps and am always looking for bigger and better ones. In the photo editing world, I've been using Google's Picasa for a while but although it's free it's not a web application nor has it really done everything I need to do when I want to edit pictures. A few days ago I discovered PXN8.com, and online photo editor, and compared to several other online photo editors I've seen, this one is the best. It's got the most intuitive user interface I've seen with a host of editing tools to meet your basic photo editing needs. If you're not sure what a particular control does there's a handy mouseover box to explain what each action does and if you still don't like what you did there's an undo button to remove the previous action. If you thought you needed to buy photo editing software for your general photo editing needs, save the money and give PXN8 a shot.

Tonight there's nothing to talk about besides the iPhone

Ok, so I had some other stuff to talk about tonight but I've been watching the Steve Jobs keynote this evening and I simply cannot focus on anything else. If you haven't heard by now (where have you been today???) Apple Inc. unveiled their iPhone. I must say that the more I've seen of this tonight the more impressed I am. Earlier today I just thought it was cool. Now I'm blown away. Check out the demo on the Apple site or the live demo from the keynote today (which actually shows you a bit more about it).

The iPhone is due out in June through Cingular. I expect the race is on for applications that can work with the iPhone...in fact, this may help push the adoption of web applications like Google documents and spreadsheets or the Zoho family of products because you can use them through the web browser. Should be interesting to see what happens.
