Scrapblog, The best thing since sliced cheese (and i love my cheese)
I feel like a little school kid waiting for arts and crafts so that I can cut and paste and decorate my little piece of art with scraps of nice lookin things. Thats exactly the kinda feeling I got after seeing screenshots of it… I’m not even a user yet and I love it! Its like what Apple meant to do with iPhoto but just never got around to…. and now its free and online, no downloads! Isnt it simply amazing… Just look at what’s possible today with web 2.0 technologies and a lil bit of creativity (and some code junkies). I see it as a no brainer for Yahoo to buy them out.. It would merge soooo nicely with flickr. If scrapblog remains independant for longer, I see huge revenue potentials with printing… Its like what Aperture allows you to do only better and free… and if they can get it for cheaper! people would love it! I wouldnt think twice about doing up an album for my roadtrip and printing it into a photobook…
I was discussing this very same idea with a friend about 2 weeks ago and the main bottleneck was the fact that there wernt and talented coders easily available… The problem with talented coders in Singapore is that they’re all head hunted even before they graduate and they look forward to a stable job with a good pay… Its totally unlike Stanford where half the people have ambitions of starting up or wanna work in a startup they love…
If there are any talented coders reading my blog, hit me up!
