Another Time Eating Website

In an effort to cache in on the latest and greatest Social Networking craze, sites are using weirder and weirder methods to get folks to use their tools. I stumbled onto this one from a Photojojo article today. The site MagMyPic has a number of photo magazines they’ve cropped out that you can insert your photos into. I figured I’d check it out and found they had a link to post it directly to Facebook – only to find out they wanted me to add the application (probably followed by some invites and so on) so I decided to grab the photo and let everyone just see the result here instead. The idea is cute even if their viral marketing is draconian. It reminds me of the Photo Cutout Tool developed by Cate Sia at NWF many moons ago (2004). Apparently NWF was ahead of their time – they should bring it back. Oskar was in the training video – although he probably didn’t realized it at the time.
