Primpz! The soft, soft, very soft launch!

Okay, finally I've got things fun-ctioning nicely, so its time to put this site "out there". And if you happen to be reading this, please test caption some images at Primpz.com. Hopefully you'll get the gist of it right away. You can quickly (keyword, quickly) add a speech, thought, or other type bubble to any image. Either on your computer by uploading it to the server, or by just finding the image URL and loading it into the Flash movie. Once you do up something clever, just punch "I'm Finished", and wha-la! Your picture is ready to download or link to. You'll get some easy to cut-n-paste Myspace code as well.

On the horizon, I'll be adding more than just speech bubbles, funny hats, nerd glasses, but this is a good start. And it accomplishes my original goal which was to make a better LOL Builder than most. Although now that I've been playing with my own (but not-so-original) creation , I'm realizing this is simply a great way to add notes to images in general. Sometimes I'll take screengrabs of code to show people where they went astray, and I'll have to open Photoshop, grab the Text tool (which I hate in Photoshop), monkey around, etc. And then of course, save the file, then email. So instead of doing all that, I just screengrab a pic, upload, caption, and its already online. For example, this took all of about 25 seconds....



And of course, you do NOT have to sign up to use the site. I love the get-in-get-out nature of sites like TinyURL.com , they are just simple, good idea-driven sites and not a pain to use. Anyway, I'll use this blog to post up news about....er....site developments. Sheesh that sounds boring.

Later!
