Another week, another batch of exercises as I explore Al Gore's Interweb. In this installment of the 23 Things, I'm still exploring Flickr. Instead of just perusing the images, though, this time I've been instructed to look at some of the mashups and third-party apps available. I found a few that were sort of interesting - for example, this Trading Card Maker. That was pretty easy to find, since it was an example used in the 23 Things blog.
But it didn't take me long to find this gem: Bubblr. Take a look, and you'll see why it would appeal to me, given my love of comic books. You can search photos by tag and/or user name, then add speech and thought balloons to them. As an added bonus, given my additional love of snark and sarcasm, I found it quite easy to start adding my own biting touches to photos. For example: Laser Tag is Awesome. Not the greatest, I'll admit, but it's just an example. Plus, that's just one panel...you can string photos together to make whole comic strips out of them.
Sadly, my search for photos tagged "Jason Wheatley" turned up empty. So, no funny comic strips centered around me for now, I'm afraid.
