I stumbled upon a website today (that is currently in beta, like every site I use lol) that allows you to create and online scrapbook. scrapBlog*, is build on the flash platform and features an amazing and very intuitive flash based builder tool.
You can choose from tones of templates, and simply drag and drop your photos from your flickr, photo bucket, or iStockPhoto account. Or you can select a blank template and create whatever you want. There is a whole library of vector graphic elements (backgrounds, sticker, photo frames) to choose from and it really dose resemble a scrapbooking experiance.
The best thing about scrapBlog* is they took a very diffrent approch to the web2.0 movment. scrapBlog* from what I can tell is trying to focus more on content creation than becomming an online community itself. Allthought you do have a scrapBlog* address and you can use it as your blog; they allow you to embed you scrapBlog* into your mySpace profile, wordpress blog, or really anything that supports HTML.
I created a quick scrapBlog using some of my photos from Austin. You can check it out here: http://redletter.scrapblog.com/austin06/
I think scrapBlog* is a great example of where the flash platform can take us, and I know scrapBlog* has a good chance of... ...getting bought by yahoo lol...

At last I have got my long lost photos of Austin online. I went to Austin in September to attend the Flashforward Conference and I had a blast. To bad I was only in Austin 20 minutes before my camera battery died, and I was then I realized I didnt bring the charger.
There was so much would have take pictures of such as; the conference, the privite Adobe Flash Birthday Party (on my birthday :) ), the invite only Wallop party ( also on my birthday, and you had to sing an NDA to get in so you can imagine it was good ), the Alamo Drafthouse Theater, and the many sights of Austin.
Downtown Austin is approx 80% abandoned so you can imagine there are thousands of stock photos to be taken. I was hoping to jazz up my iStock portfolio with some awesome new photos but I guess fate stepped in. I did meet the guys from iStock when I was in Austin, and they gave me a swwt army hat. It's kinda funny that I traveled thousands of miles to meet them when there headquarters is only and hour and a half away. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the photos I was able to capture of my first moments in Austin.
