At the most recent iteration of PodCamp, we once again saw something new come into play. This time, it was the LOLSaur site. Basically, it’s a site where you post silly, bad grammar “jokes” over pictures of dinosaurs. Basically, a spinoff joke from I can Has Cheezburger. It’s easy to think this isn’t that interesting. Except that it is. Here’s why.
Fast
This went from joke to customized website and content in only a few hours.
Rapid Participation
People self-organized, built the site, and rushed to make it firm quickly.
Learning Experience
This project incorporated a lot of learning in a very brief time.
So, you can crap on it, because it’s a bit silly, or you can think about how fast someone can turn an idea into a project, and a project into a group experiment in learning to be proud of, should you take a moment to consider it.
