It’s Friday! I hope some of you have some cool weekend plans. I’m hoping for a relaxing one myself. I have a whole bunch of new plugins to share with you today. I haven’t used Vine much, but if you do, you should check out the Latest Vine Video plugin. Check out all of them after the jump!

As part of on-going brand and SEO checks at Photocrati, we do regular searches for relevant keywords for our products.
