Glogster - Scrapbooks without scissors and glue

DLS all over the place"Poster yourself" is the name of the game, and Glogster is where you play it - although if you google the term you will be asked if you didn't mean "gangster" instead.

Here's the premise: you sign up for an account and are quickly ushered to a large Flash rectangle where you can drag and drop images, videos, and sounds. You can use either preloaded images and decorations from the site or upload your own. Then, if you are so inclined, you can play freely with drop-shadows, fonts, add links, and other gadgetry.

Of course, since this is Web 2.0, there's the mandatory social aspect where you can add other "Glogsters" to your friend network, rate other people's glogs, and share your finds. And, if you feel really good about a glog, you can embed it in your website to display your cut-and-paste glory to the world.

Sadly enough, since the preloaded images and decorations that are available fall into cutesy-pink, emo-punk, or bland, you may have to put a little work into getting a glog to look just the way you want. Who knows, with a little elbow grease, you may even end up on the highly coveted "Top Glogs" list.
