I came across a neat little time-waster... ok not so little, I just spent over a half-hour before I even knew it. A very interesting idea: collaborative online graffiti.Here's the premise- you enter a "room" that basically looks like a subway station platform. You get a spray can and a pick-box for spray type and color, and a few different brush types. Using your mouse, you tag away. Here's the neat part: you are not alone!
Each room has some number of fellow taggers. You see what they are doing, and they see what you are doing. As might be expected, there are the annoying "ruin everyone elses stuff" riff-raff, but you can click on their names and they are subsequently ignored! Now you see only your stuff and whomever you aren't ignoring!
Needless to say, there's lots of garbage, childishness, vulgarity, etc. But there's also some wonderful stuff!
All in all, a neat little diversion and a very clever idea for a few minutes of rec!
Even the name of the site, Graffiti Playdo, is suggestive of what you will find. But don't just listen to me, check it out!
