Bubblr and Comic Creativity
I love the Macintosh application Comic Life, because it offers a powerful invitation to creativity with photos. This evening I discovered Bubblr, which offers a similar invitation but one that is web-based and Flickr-powered. Here is my first creation: Nothing real earth shattering here, just a few ideas about television and marketing as we move…
