Posted on March 28, 2014 by

pixterpageI have always wanted a ‘Dislike’ button on Facebook & also an Image rating system on Twitter or Instagram. I am sure that many people would love these kinds of features. There is a new kid in the pool of social network called ‘Picxter’. The name might sound like a photo sharing Site but it’s a full fledge social network on the lines of Facebook & Twitter.

There are many things or many features which makes Picxter a unique social network. It has a ‘Hugs’ feature for someone you might like or ‘Punches’ for whom you don’t. For Images, the user can give a Star rating. For the analytics head, this site has Profile Views, Post Views & many such tools. These features are definitely unique & NOT available in your favorite social networks like Facebook or Twitter.

Picxter has another out-of-the-box feature called ‘The World’ (another unusual name). When the user posts something in ‘The World’, the post goes public & can be viewed by anyone & anywhere from the world. Similarly, anyone can post here let the world know who you are & what you do. This seems to be a faster way to get connected to other users from all over.

The Site is developed by the 18-year-old Lucknow, India based Qaiser Malik who is currently a student. Qaiser plans to include chat options & some cool games to Picxter soon. The main moto of Picxter is to provide easy & fast social connectivity from anywhere to anyone & on any platform.

You just need to be 11 years old to use Picxter.
