Previously i wrote about coomeko , they enables you to create fun comics out of your digital photos, scans etc. Let me introduce you with ToonDoo.com , ToonDoo offers more robust features with a twist of social networking sites similar to myspace or friendster. Yes i've seen many social networking sites for video,image/photos, audio, podcasts etc etc but hey there are lot of cartoonist around the world. Well ToonDoo actually manage to focus on them and yeah you can be a cartoonist for free too. ToonDoo is offering more cartoon stock graphics and emotion icons for you to add with your photos or you can just use the characters to make up your own. Get your comics reviewed by other members, you can embed the cartoons on your website, additionally you can add the toons to your favorite bookmarks sites. You can now create your own comic strips, share them with the rest of the world or insert them in your blogs with just a few clicks and drag-n-drops!
Some unique features of ToonDoo:
- Choose from nearly 400 characters, props and backgrounds
- Create 1, 2 or 3-panel comic strips
- Customize characters, props and speech bubbles
- Upload pictures and photographs
- Embed in blogs and websites
- Share, mail, recommend and bookmark your comic strips
Lets take a look under the hood of ToonDoo. Signup is fairly simple. Once you signup and logon. You'll be presented on the home page.
What amazed me is the toondoo editing interface. It's powered by adobe flash technology and has a huge library of objects to drag and drop. What the editor interface is missing is the ability to tune digital photos and apply filters.
A published toon will be tagged and can be reviewed by other members of the site. Well currently i didn't notice a friends community option for it. you can easily embed the toon code in your site using either flash or html code.
The TAG cloud is present and it's similer to the other social networking sites.
ToonDoo is an offering from Jambav.com, a fun site for kids backed by the software powerhouse, AdventNet Inc. based in USA. Jambav has created and continues to devote its energies to preparing a unique array of instructional, educational and entertainment software for children of all abilities.
