Create your own comic strip with ToonDoo - Today's Time-Waster
by Chris Gilmer Mar 29th 2007 at 1:00PM
What better way to waste time then to create a cartoon. Who cares if you have no skills, ToonDoo will help you out.
ToonDoo is created by Jambav, and backed by AdventNet, the folks behind ZoHo. They have put together an easy way to create comic strips where users can choose characters, props, and backgrounds and make a cartoon in under five minutes. Seriously, you can sit for hours playing with different scenes and setups, fine tuning characters and writing scripts in speech bubbles. Cartoons can be saved, and when you feel they are good enough, you can publish them for visitors to the site to check out. It's very addicting.
Feel free to drop a comment with a link to your ToonDoo!

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Was any of that intended to trigger some sense of recognition?

Hi,
Have you tried the Flash-Embed version of the same ToonDoo?
Fits much better into narrow columns typical of blogs, and also, shows the Toon using a smooth scroller effect.
Thanks.

It sucks! Is Jambav into SEX education or what?

While Sex Education, as those of you clued on to Teaching Trends at school will know, is an important and unavoidable subject to learn, no, Jambav is not interested in it right now.
Our focus has been to build and provide easy-to-use but powerful platforms for creating customized games for children of all ages and abilities.
But, please note that quite unlike Jambav (which is a fully moderated website), ToonDoo is as socially networked as they come, trusting in the wisdom of the crowds and the overall goodness of the community. We do have an inappropriateness-alert mechanism, that well-meaning sentinels can use, very soon after which the editors will remove such content from public view.
We are also experimenting with other mechanisms for maintaining child-safety without jeopardizing what some may call freedom of expression.
Hang on, we are hard at work! Keep watching ToonDoo for interesting developments!
Rajendran.
