There’s this thing called DailyBooth

I found this awe­some site called DailyBooth.com a while back, and I have to say that it’s really addict­ing and fun. Basi­cally, you post pic­tures of your­self once a day (or more if you choose.…or less if you suck or for­get about it) and it’s like a jour­nal of how you have changed from when you started to the present. I think it’s an amaz­ing idea, and is grow­ing in pop­u­lar­ity like crazy.

Go to the site, check it out some. If you don’t get what it is exactly, then lis­ten to a summed up ver­sion. It’s basi­cally Twit­ter with pic­tures. Sim­ple enough to under­stand, sim­ple enough to use. If you want to see more about it, check out the Tour, read their blog, or fol­low them on Twit­ter.

I got crazy lucky here. I joined Dai­ly­Booth within it’s first day or two of open­ing when it wasn’t that pop­u­lar (because it just opened, duh) and I nabbed my first name as an account. Look­ing back, that’s pretty damn awe­some. The URL to my pro­file is http://dailybooth.com/Alex, man. That’s going to be awe­some as hell when the site gets to be like Twit­ter sized. :)

Some Sick Features

The guys behind the site seri­ously went all out in devel­op­ing it. Like, they have a pretty awe­some Live Map Feed, a Reg­u­lar Live Feed, an OS X Dash­board Wid­get, YouTube Inte­gra­tion, and the list just keeps going on.

But one thing that beats all of that is the Wid­gets they give you to dis­play your pic­tures on other web­sites. Look at this thing:

The site is really addict­ing, and once you start mak­ing friends on there and start get­ting into the vibe of things, you won’t feel like an idiot pos­ing for pic­tures and get­ting ready for them. I don’t know what it is, but the site is just so addict­ing. Don’t worry, it will get you over the fear of tak­ing pic­tures of your­self. Don’t ask, it just will.

Check it out, and fol­low me (yeah, they use a lot of the same lingo Twit­ter does).

DB is a really sick service. :D
It is really popular.
I am not too much of a photo fan or I would have joined.

I have friends like James McDonald who are really active on it.

Neither was I, but I think DB cured me of it.

Do you ever have one picture of yourself online? lol.

Cool, it looks like a really cool tool, not something I would consider doing myself though: just too much hassle and I’m not actually that fussed about seeing how I change. lol :p

That said, there was a slideshow I saw on Youtube where a guy had taken a pic of himself every day for a LONG time, I think it was 3 years, but I’m not sure. It really was pretty cool to see.

I don’t really see it as a hassle man, you can update it whenever you want. :p

I think that YouTube video was the inspiration for this site anyways. I saw that video, it’s cool as hell.

I LOVE that site! I have the app for it on my iPod and read the FML’s everyday. Such an epic website!

I agree, the sex stuff is usually the worst haha.
