 I blog a lot. I mean I bloggggggggggg a lot. Mostly around 5 hours a day. More on weekends. And I have to work 8 hours full time as a Linux Engineer on weekdays. So I get cheesed off when I cant edit my pictures for my blogs when I'm away from my usual blogging laptop. What's a good solution? Well, for starters you can try Phixr. Phixr is an online photo editor, perfectly suited for internet cafes, schools and office computers without photo editing software. It directly supports flickr, photobucket, buzznet and fotolog. And they are even giving away USD1000 bucks for fun. Phixr Online Photo Editor site
