In the current of age of Tumblr one needs to be on top of their photo editing game, its equivalent to owning a Gameboy advance SP back in the day to make sure you are part of the cool kids in school, now because we live in the age of internet and childhood obesity one must ensure they have the best photo editing apps present in their back pocket.

Instagram has some of the best filters ever, which will make your photos look absolutely flawless. Since its last update you now have the options to control how much the filter applies to the picture, you can also play with the brightness, saturation, warmth and sharpness of the image. Trust me it’s a win!

2) Pixlr Express:

I love this application and the best part is that you can also use this on a desktop, I like this application because it lets you focus on the Nitti gritty, i.e resizing the photo, taking care of blemishes (I know we all do it) adding a bokeh, text and unlimited filters to choose from. Another feature I like about this app is that it lets you control the size you want to save your image without losing quality which is amazing. Plus the app is incredibly easy to use.

9) Photo Blender:

I like the concept behind this app, its limited in terms of editing options but it lets you create artistic photos. Basically you take two photos and blend them together which once together give a suggestive idea, like for example the picture below overlooks from an air plane window and the other picture shows where the person would rather be, so you could take the Eiffel tower and post a photo of yourself because lets face it why wouldn’t you want to be in Paris?

This is your basic editing app, but the thing which stands out is that the filers and editing options it offers make your photos look sophisticated, it gives your photos a vintage-isq vogue vibe which is so in these days, if you have ever visited blogs online you’ll see what I mean, the clean cut images, which have a certain air of modesty and pride in them, the word I’m looking for is Jane Austin, YES if you’re a Jane Austin fan you’ll love this application!

So, if you’re a gammer whose just only started to game, then I’m sure you’re gonna need a gaming console. Deciding which one to buy is always tough, with heavy duty marketing its just one of those first world problems that you just seem to get rid of.

First you justify to yourself as to why you’re buying the gaming console that you choose and THEN there is always that one friend who is going to go ‘so why did you thins, the other one is son much better’ AH makes me go crazy every time!

So in order to let you make a well constructed and a highly thought about decision, I have taken the responsibility upon myself to educate you about each of these two gaming devices, and what exactly they are and what makes them similar yet so different.

Design

In terms of the design bot the consoles are poles apart, xBox is a big chunky box, which you will have to make room for near your TV, whilst PS4 is smaller and sleeker, and wins in my books in terms of design. Both these devices are available in black as well as in white.

Both consoles start with 500GB of storage, which will fill up fast considering how many games take up upward of 50GB on your hard drive. Both consoles offer expandable storage, however xbox one takes the upper hand as you can simply plug in any USB 3.0 external hard drive for more space. On PS4, you’ll have to open up your console and swap in a new 2.5-inch or SATA drive.

Controllers

The xbox one controller has improved since its predecessors but there haven’t been any major redesign, just some slight changes, however with the release of Microsoft Elite Wireless Controller, which mind you will cost you around a $150, you will be able to access features like built-in soft grips, swappable thumb sticks and d-pads, and fully remappable buttons. Its still a pain that the controller still requires a batteries to run, especially when you run out and you have no spare ones!

The major change that I have noticed in the new controller is the built in rumble motors into the triggers to give you feedback when, for example, shooting guns, this function understandably makes the Xbox One the better console to play racing games on

On the other hand PS4’s DualShock 4 controller has more special features than the standard Xbox One pad, with a front-facing touchpad, motion-control capabilities, a built-in speaker, and a light bar at the top that changes colors based on your battery level or the game you’re playing.

Graphics

Both the consoles have an 8-core x86-64 AMD Jaguar processor with 8GB of RAM, an AMD Radeon GPU and a 500GB hard drive. Both consoles support expandable storage: the PS4 via its swappable SSD drive, and the Xbox One via just about any external USB 3.0 storage drive.

To be honest I’m not someone to go GAGA over how crystal the graphics are but many of my gamer friends make it a huge deal, both the consoles have killer resolution, however PS4 slightly has the upper hand as the games look better on it compared to how they look and feel on the xbox one. Games run on 1080 p on the xbox whilst run on 900p on the xbox.

If you are particularly looking for a console, which will give you killer graphics and will blow your brains out and maybe give you an eye orgasm –if that’s a thing- then PS4 is your best bet .

Interface and streaming

The latest interface on the xbox one completely revamps the look and the whole feel of the console, it operates Windows 10,there is a larger display of icons, shortcuts for getting to your games quickly, and, perhaps most notably, features a new guide that lets you reach your friends, notifications and messages with a single button-tap, this feature I believe is super useful especially if you like to multitask while gaming.

On the other side of the ring- PS4 allows its users to ‘do it all’ A quick tap of the DualShock 4’s Share button brings up a menu that lets you record a clip, broadcast your gameplay or take a screenshot.

PS4 also allows its users to instantly broadcast and share their videos on YouTube and Facebook, while Xbox one users can only share them on twitter. Also the PS4-exclusive Share Play feature lets you give control of your game to an online friend for up to 60 minutes, so long as that person has Plus.

Also you can access Netflix for free on the PS4, whilst in order to get the service on the XBOX one you get paid access to application Via Xbox Live Gold Subscription. Shit just got real!

However one major advantage of owing the XBOX one is that you don’t need to throw away your previous XBOX 360 games, or if you never owned an XBOX 360 and you want to play a game not yet released on the XBOX one then the best feature of all, introduced by Microsoft is the backward compatibility, Microsoft plans on rolling out support for new Xbox 360 games every month, meaning most of your old games should work on the Xbox One sooner or later, just hope its sooner and not later!
Sony has also been working on achieving something similar, by making PlayStation 2 games playable on PS4, though specifics on the feature are currently scarce and the feature is largely still under development. The option available to you now by Sony to pay for PlayStation Now, which allows you to stream a small library of PS3 games from the cloud for $20 a month.

Entertainment

Now if you are more of ‘I want it all person who wants gaming but also want to watch movies on the console then XBOX one wins by miles. One of the system’s key distinguishing features is its ability to transmit your cable box’s TV signal, allowing you to quickly switch between playing a game and watching a show. It can also snap your TV feed to the top right of the screen so you can do both at once. A great option for those of you whose moms or girlfriends keep screaming, you don’t let me watch TV!!

Online gameplay and overall experience

Both Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gold ($60 yearly, $10 monthly) and Sony’s PlayStation Plus ($50 yearly, $10 monthly) online services are required for you to play any game’s online multiplayer mode, and both come with their fair share of extra goodies.

Both consoles offer frequent discounts on digital games, and both provide cloud storage in different capacities. PlayStation Plus provides 10GB of cloud storage, whereas all your Xbox One saves are backed up to the cloud regardless of whether you have Xbox Live Gold.

Final Verdict

Okay so after a very neck to neck comparison it is very hard to suggest a winner, because the pick depends largely on preference of the user.

PS4 has a superior hardware and, sharing capabilities deliver a more user-friendly experience!

While Xbox One’s robust first-party game lineup, backward compatibility and rich entertainment options make it the more versatile box.

Would it be wrong to say that The Kardashians’ are the pioneers of modern technology? I mean they use technology to their biggest advantage, they have a reality TV show, a clothing line, websites and mobile phone apps, its only time that they will have their very own TV channel!

So lets backup a little bit to when Kim K was just an ordinary girl, of course she was besties with Paris Hilton who then she got a reality tv show and started thinking that Kim K wasn’t cool enough so she dumped her but who knew that in a few years time Kim K would made a viral sex tape which would land her and the gang a reality TV show and would make them the most sought after family ever?!

I have tried many times to come up with reasons as to why people like them so much? And why are they so heavily publicized I mean even if they poop its news, ever wonder why? The only answer that comes to mind is that this is the new technology era.

Confused? Me too! So lets break it down, shall we?

They make you like them:

lets be honest they are everywhere, just like the iPhone! Kudos to Apples marketing team, they are tech geniuses, so everyone knows when the iPhone is going to come out, they have set a month (September) when they release the new iPhone, and when its coming out EVERYONE KNOWS, even those ‘I prefer androids because we are better than iPhone users because we have an android which has a zillion personalization features I have and will never use’ type. They get people talking they create a stir and that’s exactly the same policy the Kardashians’ use to manipulate us into liking them.

Think about it, their every move is recorded for all to see, their scandalous lives stir debate and that’s why they are everywhere, because they are the new game boy, when it comes out you gotta have it and so if everyone’s talking about the Kardashians’ you have to stay up to date as well.

They rule social media:

okay so when Kylie Jenner posts a photo on instagram I get a notification?!? Whyyy I mean I follow Taylor Swift as well but when she posts a photo I don’t get a notification! This is called forceful advertisement, naturally if Instagram is sending you a notification every time Kylie Jenner posts a photo you HAVE to check it out, it becomes your honorable duty to you country and all of mankind.

Reality is overrated:

So I’d like to think that the human race in general is nosy, we like to know what kind of lives our friends, our neighbors, cute guy across the street lead, or the next door babe and when someone comes and tell you that you can actually see them living their lives and get to know their deepest darkest secrets, you sir would feel as if you have cheated the gods of privacy and have a special power to get a peak inside someone else’s life, that is what the Kardashians do, they let you see what of lives they have, and how many guys/girls they date, who they sleep with and how many times they have gone under the knife, BUT the biggest advantage they have is, they control what you get to see! Now I’m sorry if I’m bursting your bubble ‘Oh no reality TV is real’ its not.

For instance take your average youtube vlogger, they hold the reins on what they release on the internet, they have the power to edit and delete everything they post, and with the Kardashians’ they have a whole professional team working for them, so obviously they make it all fancy and interesting.

Branding:

the most important factor that has made them what they are, is branding! They brand everything, from head to toe.

Kim K is stupid, why? Because she has said some of the most stupidest things ever, like her biggest insecurity is stretch marks??? Whaaat! And this is a branding quality, I mean if she started talking about physics who would watch her? I know I wouldn’t so her brand is being stupid. For Kylie her brand is her hair which she changes almost everyday, they have made themselves into brands by doing things we would only dream of doing.

Lets talk about how the sisters have made themselves even bigger bands (as if that was possible) by releasing their own mobile apps. I recently downloaded Kendalls’ and Kylies’ app, and Ill be honest I was amazed with what they have done with them, they are highly addictive for starters, the girls have turned to a more personal approach with their fans (for those of you complaining they are nothing like us, download the apps).

The girls do OOTD (outfit of the day) posts and tell their fans who they are wearing, they write about their day and what they do in their downtime, I mean that’s like scoring 10,000,000 points against the privacy god.

Here are pictures for you to see how personal Kendall and Kylies apps really are:

Question is, who doesn’t want to look like her?

Now if that is not personal then what is?

Plastic is the new pretty:

so we all know Kylie and Kims butt is plastic, no matter how many times they’ve denied it, we have known, or have we? This constant feeling of not knowing has made us even more interested rather obsessed with knowing, is it really plastic? Or does a body figure like that exists.

I mean if it weren’t for all those casualties occurring because some girls went a little overboard with the Kylie Jenner’s lip challenge, she would have never admitted to getting fillers.

Lets face it a perfect body does not exist, and nobody is the most beautiful girl in the world because there will always be someone prettier than her. But this constant guessing game and undying speculation have made us watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, which I’m sure we are not proud of.

So the question still remains, WHY do people like the Kardashians?

The answer is simple, they don’t. They like the idea behind the Kardashians, it’s a way for people to see all the things they would not have and that just makes us feel as if we are closer to getting it but in reality the whole concept is so far fetched, that’s why, is it wrong to say that they are the pioneers of modern technology?

Keep It Short, To The Point, Simply Put no BS

Another way to get more people to notice you online is be brief and don’t waste time, time is money and no one wants to spend 10 minutes reading which photo editing app is the best, MAKE IT SHORT! The most annoying thing is when I want to find out which app I should download to edit photos and there are 10 lines describing each app, honey ain’t nobody got time for that! Also when promoting your content don’t use language that one would require the Oxford dictionary to decipher your English, stop being cocky, its good you have nice knowledge of the English language but unless you’re Shakespeare I genuinely don’t care, and chances are others don’t either.

Know Thy Audience & Publish To Their Taste

websites and blogging sites these days give you so many statistic details which in the olden days would be an analysts job to collect, and now you have all that information just a click away, USE IT! See what is interesting your readers and then give them exactly that, make use of your personality and advertise yourself as a brand, sell yourself as a brand, what is a brand? Something everyone knows of, be that, how can you be that? Pay attention to your followers, the more customer satisfaction approach you have the more you are going to win at life.
Ever wonder why some people have so many friends? Because they tell you what you want to hear, the pressure is less when it comes to social media and so use that to your advantage. Check your statistics daily, make a plan on what you want to do with your content online and who your targeted audience is, when you figure that out, it’ll be a walk in the park!
The importance of networking: Not going lie, I’ve learned this the hard way but networking is extremely important, if you think you are going to be discovered then you might as well still believe in Santa Clause, you need to go out there and socialize with people who are selling similar to what you are selling, make friends with them and soon their friends will be your friends, admire appreciate, learn their approach and with that grow. One reason why some Youtubers are where they are today is because of networking, once you feature on someone else’s social media their followers become interested in you, and that’s how you win at life people, SOCIALIZE.

Don’t be that guy!

Keep Posting – Keep Posting – KEEEP POSSTTTING

one of the biggest DONTS is to not update your social media, be as interactive as possible, I have seen many Facebook pages, Instagram accounts of different brands/bloggers which were last updated a year ago, I mean come one, did you get hit by a bus? Here is an example, I was having wet dreams about going fall shopping recently, and I dint want to physically leave my house so I settled for online shopping and some brands had not updated their Facebook pages with pictures of the new stock, that literally made my blood boil, of course if it’s a big brand their sites are always up to date, but that is the reason why they are big, all their social media is updated, having a kick ass social media presence will not only attract more customers but will help you wet your feet in international boarders, chances for expansion and basically make sure the global village grows

Build a Thriving Online Presence With Exciting Content

there is a reason why some bloggers are bigger than others, it is because they sell themselves before they sell anything else, now I’m not saying you should sell your soul to the devil, but if you are a blogger/brand put a face to what you are selling, f there is no face, chances are people are going to forget you. Be friendly and as relatable as possible, if you’re boring then no one will listen to what you have to say, be as bubbly and excited about things as possible, now if you are a manly man reading this, you’ll be like The Fuck? Have no fear, you can be bubbly as well without having to put your hands up and saying “oh emm geee” no if you are talking about the latest iPhone release you can make yourself interesting by not talking about the walls of the aperture on the camera (if that’s even a thing), trust me majority of the users visiting your page will by all means give not a single shit about it, but upload pictures taken from the camera and have a side by side comparison with pictures taken from similar phones, better yet make a video and show the people, sell yourself as a personality that your readers/viewers will want to listen to what you have to say.

Controversy is the best policy: One thing I have learned from watching a whole bunch of viral videos is that be different, be controversial, especially if you advertise through apps like Facebook, I say this because people on Facebook love drama, I don’t blame the average Facebook user, I mean its 2015 and people don’t care if you’ve recently checked into your bathroom or your neighborhood MC Donald’s, they want to know how many people you slept with the past weekend, so if you want people to remember you, be different, stand out and say things your competitors wont say, now if you are serious business and by serious I mean a clothing store trying to sell your products, talk about the latest trends by criticizing the celebs doing it wrong, make a bold statement and get people talking. If you’re a blogger choose titles which are appealing, for example you’re going to talk about best places to eat on a night out, then title the post as ‘Foods that’ll give you an orgasm’ rather then your usual, play it safe ‘The best food you’ll ever eat’. Quickly revisiting our ‘sex sells’ ideology, I remember I once had a manger who would always tell me after reviewing my work, “Put some sex in this”, and Amen was he right, bless him.

Now I am not a Donald Trump supporter but this guy sure knows how to stay in the news!

Talk the talk- The Social Media Way

It is time you realize that the slang you once used on MSN messenger has gotten old and kids these days are using a whole new level of slang, no matter how old you are and how serious your organizations’ mission statement is know the internet lingo! Use the layman language and make yourself as relatable as possible, if you are a twitter advertiser then use the appropriate hash tags don’t be ashamed of using 20 hash tags in one tweet, if it works who’s judging? Also there are so many nice ways to send out a tweet, one can use the 140 characters to their advantage and get the word out without being too boring. Follow and re-tweet the right people and who knows one day maybe you’ll be a verified twitter user.

What did I tell you about sex selling?? The Kardiashians’ are the epitome of social media optimization

If you have clicked to read this article, then chances are; you are a blogger looking to expand your horizon, or are a brand who is trying to break out of its limited consumer base or you are a normal fellow just trying to figure things out. Whichever category you fit in, we will try to simplify your search and exhaustive list of questions through this article by giving you just what you want, i.e; how to win at optimizing your content through social media.

First off let’s start with, what social media optimization is?

The answer in lay man terminology is; marketing your brand or yourself on social media by placing advertisement on various form of social media out there, and no I am not talking about those sickening pop up ads telling me I need to update my adobe flash player to view the video I want to watch, and no I don’t want to meet good looking individuals near me.

So if you are thinking of optimizing your content by displaying such adds then I’m sorry this article is not for you. But if you are a sane individual with a bit of class then, please continue reading.

Okay now that we have covered the ‘don’ts’ lets move on to the steps that will make you a winner.

Optimize using visual content :

This point basically means; seeing is believing, if I don’t see it I don’t believe in it. If you are a brand trying to reach a larger audience know that people wont believe it when you say; ‘we are the best company…’ NO people want proof, they want pictures and videos. An online presence on every social media application is highly necessary; make an account on Instagram, reddit, tumblr, snapchat, and every possible social media app you can find, you need to spread the word that you exist and the more annoyingly active you are on social media the more likely it is that people will visit you and get educated on what you are trying to sell.

Make it look pretty:

So chances are if there is no jazz in what you post no body wants to look at it, lets face it, the people love ‘pretty’ anything that is ugly no body wants to waste time on it, so the prettier and nicely put together your content is on social media, it’ll sell. There is a legit reason why we say ‘sex sells’ its because IT DOES, so make sure when establishing an online presence to market yourself or your brand make sure its something that you would like to look at and indulge in, and if you have horrible artistic sense then my friend Pintrist ideas on how to make shit look pretty, its not that hard

If you are going to post photos then make sure they are nicely put together and edited, there is enough lighting and the quality of your photos is top notch

Which photo is more intriguing out of the three?
