THE GOOD:
An amazing and extremely simple site that grabs a selected color of Creative Commons photos on Flickr. I’m not sure how I did it, but I spent a good hour on this site clicking around going “cool!” every once in a while, and that’s what the internet is all about. The simpler things are the best, and this site proves that.
Hey remember Polaroids? Remember those? The lil’ camera with the big heart that got made redundant by, I don’t know, the $1-a-shot cost of taking a photo with it? Yeah that’s something people seem to be glossing over. Anyway, this little app turns your run of the mill boring photos and gives them that olde timey Polaroid look. It even fades them as they’re being “developed”. Man, remember “developing pictures”?
THE BAD:
So between the two you have a choice of looking like an illustration of a human in a Geometry textbook OR you can give yourself meth face. Your call, buddy. Spend more than five minutes on either site and you’ll instantly drop IQ points. Spend more than an hour and animals will shun you.
THE UGLY:
Since Myspace has become the Detroit of the Internet – a once prosperous hub of activity; now a veritable ghost town only sparsely populated by ruffians and ne’er-do-wells – it appears that Blingee was the most obvious sign that social networking sites had jumped the shark. That might be an understatement. Blingee is to your eyes as religion was to Bob Dylan.
