Tagxedo is a very cool service which enables to make original word/tag clouds in 5 minutes (or 2 hours if you enjoy it a bit too much). It’s been one year that it’s a beta and therefore that most of its features are still free. It obviously won’t last so run there before it looses… [Read more…]

Let’s be clear from start, this post is not going to be about but about crowdsourced projects which can be found on flikr and which aim at mixing photos from the past with their contemporary version.
