Cameroid: Photo Snaps With Effects Using Your Webcam

October 15th, 2009 | 2 Comments | Posted in Design, Technology

cameroidCameroid is a service that allows you to take headshots using your webcam straight from your browser. There’s no need to download or install a webcam software that allows you to take stills and add effects to your snapshots. Simply head over to the site to take a photo and quick share them online.

The web app allows you take snapshots using several effects. You can take a photo of you with the filter, distort, framed or with scenario. Of course, there’s the regular clear snapshot with no effect.

To use the service, it’s self explanatory that you’ll need a webcam. Go to the “Snap” tab and grant the application access to your webcam. Choose which effect you’d like to use and click the “Take Photo Button.” You can either save your image to a Cameroid gallery, download the JPG version or use the URL link to share your image.

Creating a gallery in Cameroid can be accomplished easily. Simply take your first snapshot and click the save to gallery button. You will be prompted to enter your email address which pretty much covers the registration process. Everytime you save a photo on your gallery, you’ll receive an email from Cameroid containing the URL link to your snapshot so that you can immediately forward them to your contacts. To view previously saved images, just enter your email (no password needed) and browse the photos saved on your cameroid gallery.

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com

November 17th, 2007 | Comments Off | Posted in Blog Tips, Design

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Happy Anniversary Snap Shots!
