Site of the Day for Friday, November 2, 2007
DailyCaption
Today's site, initiated by Jordan Isip, offers irresistible opportunities
for creating or simply for being entertained by, witty captions for
randomly chosen images. Gentle Subscribers will discover the self-indulgent
pleasure of browsing through some of the wonderfully tongue-in-cheek titles
submitted for the photos at the site.
"DailyCaption is a community that takes Flickr photos out of context. Each
night, a new Flickr photo is generated for members to contribute new
captions and rate others. ... participants can rate captions, and they can
earn points to encourage bragging rights. ... At 12:00AM UTC, the caption
with the most points wins the game. At this time, DailyCaption looks at the
author of the caption that won and selects a random tag ... from the
Winner's tag pool. That tag is then used to grab a Flickr photo ... to
start the new DailyCaption contest!" - from the website
A stop at the October archive, the link for which is tucked unobtrusively
in the upper right corner, offers an engaging introduction to the humor on
tap. Each photo for the month is displayed, along with the number of
captions submitted for the image. With indefatigable kittens outnumbering
any single other category, the picture titles range from the wonderfully
silly to the laugh-out-loud hilarious. Assorted people, wildlife -- from
snakes to racoons -- and even some sketches, were among October's subjects.
Not to be overlooked is the entry for October 8, which provoked some great
lines. Those interested in participating in the fun can join the
DailyCaption community by filling in a brief form.
