Danger - View at Your Own Risk!
By Stephen Bucaro
You may be familiar with Bloglines as one of the best and easiest to use RSS
feed aggregators on the Internet. Now the demon programmers at Bloglines have
created an application called Image Wall that mesmerizes anyone who is
foolish enough to view it.
Bloglines indexes zillions of images every hour, and as they come in, the Image
Wall displays them in a 6 x 4 grid. An image in the grid is replaced every
second. If you move your mouse over an image, a larger version of the image
appears in a popup box. If you click on an image in a popup box, you are taken
to the source of the image.
The Image Wall is mesmerizing and you could become hypnotized by it, causing you
to glare at it for hours as your productivity goes down the toilet. On the other
hand, if you're an artist of any kind, viewing the Image Wall is sure to unblock
your mind and jog your creativity.
Before you are allowed to view the Image Wall, you are required to click on a
button agreeing that you are over the age of 18 and that you understand that the
Image Wall may display images of an adult or controversial nature, and you agree
not to hold Bloglines responsible.
By clicking Here,
you agree that you will not hold me responsible for informing you about Bloglines
Image Wall, causing you glare at it continuously in a hypnotic state for
months and lose any possibility of being productive.
