Instagram has revitalized the way one interacts with others via the spontaneous pictures captured with iPhones. StickyGram allows you to turn those frozen moments from your iPhone into magnets for your fridge, locker or other metallic surface.
Like most great things, StickyGram began as an experiment and turned into something that will hopefully gain mass attention. Keijia Zhu and the team at Mint Digital wanted to create physical objects from the web, converting the memories one shares via the net into something tangible.
I find it a treat when I'm invited into someone's home and notice there fridge is heavily decorated with pictures of family members and friends. Now that fridge can include those bizarre moments you can't forget, and those instances that should probably never have been photographed.
