Aviary has been busy scoring several high-profile partnerships with the likes of Twitter, Flickr, Walgreens, and Yahoo to use its photo-editing tools. The company just announced that it’s partnering with Photobucket, a photo/video hosting and sharing site that had worked with Twitter before ending that relationship to branch out on its own to develop similar image-editing tools. According to TechCrunch, Aviary has more than 2,500 partners, 25 million-plus monthly users, and 2 billion edited photos.

As for its latest coup, Aviary said that Photobucket partnered with them because of the “robust and consistent cross-platform photo editing capabilities for its users.” Aviary added that its SDKs are native to the platforms they’re compatible with (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and HTML5), which makes a strong product that’s easy to deploy with “a seamless and intuitive photo-editing experience.” In an interview with TechCrunch, Aviary’s new CEO, Tobias Peggs, said that the idea of partnership with Photobucket began when he reached out to friends for some insight and opinion after he joined the company; one of those friends happened to be Photobucket engineer Doug McCuen. After a beer and some discussion, the rest is history, as they say.

The Aviary tools are available now via Photobucket’s website and soon on Photobucket’s iOS and Android apps. Check out the rest of TechCrunch’s interview with Peggs and Photobucket’s Chief Product Officer, Kate Hare.

Crutchfield sale: Save on Canon, Sony and Nikon mirrorless cameras

Photography can be a fun and even lucrative endeavor, although it also can be exceedingly expensive, with some of the best full-frame cameras on the market easily reaching and even exceeding one or two thousand dollars, and that's without taking into account the cost of the lenses. Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you're just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we've picked some of our favorite deals below, although it's well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that's happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's camera sale
If you're just starting out with photography and don't want to spend the thousands of dollars you do for the slightly better cameras that you'll find in the mid-range, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent option, and this kit includes a lens as well. It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you're filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.
