Take Fun Photos With Your Webcam (Flash)
I had mentioned before (older post) about interactive webcams in Flash8, here's a follow up!
www.SillyWebcam.com is a new web site (new domain name too) I set up recently where you can make pix from your live webcam video. Obviously you will need a web cam to play around (even some games and funny time wasters), but you will also need Adobe Flash addon for your web browser to run the webcam tools.
Here are the webcam image making tools (save pics to hard drive):

Here are the webcam image making tools (save pics to hard drive):
- Fake Magazine Covers (put your face on the cover of 500 fake and popular magazine cover overlays)
- Silly Scenes (funny Flash overlays that put you in a different time or place, take a pic, 100 layouts)
- World's Best Award (choose from 250 certificates to put your video capture in)
- Greeting Cards (mini templates, add personalized text message, over 200 styles)
- Your Face On Another Body (choose from 400 body scenes, use webcam, save JPG to your computer)
- Borders (borders and edges to spruce up a webcam, capture a digital photo, 50 templates)
- Frames (museum/gallery quality mirror frames, take a snapshot with a nice frame, 25 overlays)
- 500 Hairstyles: Women's short, medium, long, wedding, funky, up or mens (pics for hairstylists)
- Instant Photo (just capture 480X360 pixel up-to-date images of yourself without any effects)

Sign Generators Get Downgraded
http://www.signgenerator.org/ got a thumbs down from About.com because of the difficulty using the geneartors (this was very depressing as they would not list our site for huge PROMO). They explained that there were too many choices and too many buttons/dropdowns and fillable forms that would confuse the average computer user. THIS MEANS THAT I MUST DOWNGRADE THE SIGN GENERATOR WIDGETS!
I have started making them easier to use, here's an example using one of the church sign generators: BEFORE and AFTER. You will notice far less settings to confuse web users (you can still goto the advanced page to do more text styles) and now you do not need to make individual lines of text, just one line will get spaced in the image properly and automatically.
I know many people complained IN THE PAST about the complicated sign generators (all the gradient fills, multiple lines of text, watermarking, comic bubbles, etc), all the advanced settings were confusing the majority, but people liked the ease of use on my sites like http://www.avatargenerator.org/, http://www.happyfacegenerator.com/, http://www.text2logo.com/, etc... I only wanted to have the most advanced settings to give the most possibilities as all the other sign generator sites on the net were so basic to me and didn't have the fuctionality I was looking for. I guess you can make things too good.
