Scrapblog - Digital Scrap Booking at its Best



Scrapbooking has always been a great way to collect and express beautiful memories that you gained through experiencing the beauty of life. I had a one on one sharing session with the folks at Ogilvy today and I thought it would be nice to show the people who work with me in the same vincity some little pranks I know of that happened in my ex-workplace - the Yahoo! SG office.

I used Scrapblog to create my presentation "slides" and populated with memories. :) Some of my colleagues thought that I've used Photoshop Elements to come out with the presentation but nope, I doubt I had the time to do so. Scrapblog was a much easier solution for me. It brings scrapbooking to another realm - the digital realm. No, digital scrapbooking can never replace the physical, texturised scrapbooking experience. But it brings the mental visuals, the designs, that has been residing in your head into images on screen before you go, "yea that looks good, I can translate that on physical paper." Well, you can always stop at the part where you print out the digital masterpiece if you are contented with that.

Being a SaaS, the Scrapblog is a mash up with practical API relations with many photo content sources like Flickr, Picasa, and even those pictures you've uploaded on Facebook can be imported over. Putting its feet in a user's shoe, the tool has a well thought out architecture that enhances a user's experience by providing so much ease and accessibility to the needed content. Kudos to the team behind it. They should be in the Techcrunch 50 list! I wonder how the site analytics is like. Would suppose that visitors have high pageviews/visit and long visit durations. It is a highly engaging site.

Well I shall cut the talking/ writing. Have fun if you're playing around with it.
