Web 2.0D

So now a post about an online image generator that I found using the RSS feed from one of my bloglines subscriptions and that I've added to a search roll on rollyo and tagged it on deli.c.ious and am now writing in my blog about after I've uploaded the picture to flickr and put it on my facebook page and it's about a really cool book that I must put on my Librarything page (or maybe Goodreads, I'm not sure) and I can't forget to add lots of tags to it so people can find it on technorati ... and after I've done all this web 2.0 stuff I have no time left to actually read the book ... bugger!

If a picture's worth ...

OK - so task #10 - online image generators. Hmmmm. Had a play ... some worked, a lot didn't. I tried the Che Guevara generator - and the instructions were in French. My French is pretty bad - only time I've ever used it was to direct a taxi in Noumea and I ended up in the wrong place.

So I flipped onto the Delft plate generator. It worked but I couldn't save the image - just order a plate. I will admit to trying the fart generator but it didn't have an image I could put on my blog and my workmates kept giving me funny looks (I think the computer volume may have been a little on the loud side maybe?).

Ended up with the Dumbledore generator ... results below.

On the grand scale of things, I probably wouldn't use any of this again. Maybe OK to waste a few idle moments if you've got nothing better to do ...

Liked the mash-ups better as there was more creativity involved and they were generally easier to use.

So I came, I saw, I played ... and if a picture is worth a thousand words then I suppose an online image generator may have its uses ... I suppose it really depends of what the thousand words say.
