Flipbooks

I found this really neat website through one of my other classes:
http://www.flip.com

You can make your own flip book.  Before I checked out the site, my concept of a flip book was a little rectangular booklet with pictures in it that seem to be animated when you flip through it really fast.  These are not those.  They're online scrapbooks, and they're really neat.  I've never had the patience for scrapbooking, but making a flipbook is fun and easy.

You can sign into your photobucket and facebook accounts and access your photos there when you're making a flipbook, so you don't have to bother uploading pictures to a new website- something that can be long and tedious, especially when you have a lot of pictures, which I think most of the young people using flip.com do.

You can browse flipbooks that people have already made here:

Here's one I made:

(It lets you embed your flipbooks, but the video automatically starts and there's sound and I don't want someone's speakers to suddenly start singing if they're in the middle of class or something.)
