SwarmSketch is the brainchild of Peter Edmunds, a 22-year-old communications student at the University of Canberra, in Australia. Each week he grabs the top search term from the major search engines and invites people to contribute a line to a collaboratively drawn sketch. You can contribute one line of limited length then you can vote on lines submitted by other users by changing the opacity of their line. What a fascinating concept that is executed in such a way as to really draw you in!
I think there’s a big future in making applications that allow or compel people to contribute to a group opportunity for creativity. Go take a look at this and tell me if you don’t think there is something ahead of its time in it.
