My nominee for “Fun Web Service of The Year” is Smirk. With a web cam and a few clicks of the mouse, users can create video icons that reflect up to nine different ‘moods’. Users can embed the video icons most anywhere on the web — their social network pages, websites and blogs. Whenever a user changes their ‘mood’, their icon is changed to reflect the new ‘mood’ on the various sites where the Smirk is embedded.
There’s a number of significant, but less obvious potential applications for Smirk. The boys at Particle Programmatica (Crush3r, p0pulist) are behind the new offering. I, for one, will be interested to see how the product ramps and develops.
