I will be adding a couple of new websites under my Creative tab. These have been apps/websites I've been using as of late (especially with my new iPhone).
Pinterest: a social networking site that allows you to post images and repin images you find throughout the site. It's especially cool to see creative ideas from others (recipes, crafts, fun stuff all around). Think of Facebook's Pieces of Flair and take that to a superhero degree...that's Pinterest.
One side note with respect to the site: you do have to request an invite before you can sign up. In some ways, it toys with the inexplicable human desire for immediate gratification by making its users wait a day or so before actually getting account. Other than that, it's just an annoying little step...but creates a sort of V.I.P.-feel to the site and is well worth the wait. As far as I can tell, no one is denied a request to join.
The iPhone app hasn't been the greatest at always working. It seems to have several bugs that need to be worked out. When they are figured out, I think it will be an awesome site to use regularly via the app.
Next on the list is Instagram. This is by far, one of the best iPhone photo apps I've used. It is so much fun to apply the different filters with your shots. It helps make even the most inept photographer into a genius with just a few easy steps.
To take Instagram to the next step, you can go to StickyGram and turn your amazing photos into mini magnets. I can think of a million ways to use these cool little magnets (gift ideas, save-the-dates, business cards, or simply additional coolness to your fridge's massive magnet collection)!
These are the moments I truly love technology!
