Sure you blog, but do you Glog? It's like collages 2.0, like an amalgamation of social network-like photo sharing and blogging with more traditional scrapbooking. Essentially, Glogster is a place you can easily mix the media that appeals to you most, from your personal photos to the music you're digging now, to the most viral videos making you giggle this moment.
The links can easily be sent to friends and each Glog uploads smoothly to your social networking profiles, transitioning seamlessly to Myspace, Facebook, Hi5, Friendster, Bebo and more.
Categories include Friends and Family (6943 Glogs), Music (6401), People (6320), Love (6082), Scrapbooks and Journals (4354), Text Letters and Poems (3862), WTF (3364), Art (2519), Celebrities (2264), Fun and Entertainment (2118), Fashion and Style (1810), School (1657), Cartoon (1455), Movies (1291), Travel and Places (1249), Pets (1205), Sports (794) and Cars (301.)
You also have the ability to look at other people's Glogs, whether to seek inspiration or to comment on their virtual scrapbooks. On the other hand, if you prefer to keep yours private, that's possible on Glogster too.
This is a good alternative for those who always intend to make post-vacation scrapbooks, yet never find the time to have the photos printed, cut the paper and do all the pasting and writing by hand!
