IDEA #89 - Clouds in the Sky
By Steve Poland • November 7, 2008
Alright, I’ll admit — this idea is simple and possibly weak. It’s not even mine, it’s my buddy Bob’s idea.
How many cloud photographs exist? And have you ever looked at a cloud and saw something, and someone else saw something else? It might look like a cow, or a cat with a hat on, etc.
What about a site kind of like LOLCats that allows you to caption cloud photos? Or simply comment on them as to what you see.
Could be a fun, mindless site in a matter where you just keep clicking through each photo.

Got something to say?



Make it a game sort of like the google image tagging game, where people can score points. And then take the human-generated data and build a giant cloud-gazing AI.
I like the idea. I just looked out the window and saw a hotdog…
so….ya. Definitely do this.
Not a bad idea. I used to lay out in the grass all the time and look at the clouds and see weird crap.
lol@anthony. Actually this is a very cool idea Steve.
