I have used each tool to produce an example of the original Dominoe story, plus links are provided, where available, to examples by other people. Please share your own examples or thoughts [|in the discussion area of this wiki]. > > **But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work?** Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now.

16. Dandelife
[|http://dandelife.com] Generate a timeline of any kind of event in your life, write as blog-like entry, apply tags, attach images, videos, bookmarks form other web service sites. Not the easiest tool to use!

Comic/Sketch Tools
Create your own comic strips or cartoons using imported media or available images. You might need ability to sketch, and these are generally shorter pieces, and were much more of a challenge to fit a story into.

23. gnomz
[] This is a fairly low level tool that will not create any visual masterpieces, but there is an interesting challenge in trying to compose with a limited tool set. It creates those pixel flat icon like figures. You create a cartoon avatar, and you pull from a library of others, and enter their speech or thought bubbles, as well as select backgrounds. The site is a bit challenging to figure out since it is in French, but click the flag in the top right to toggle the site to English.

Flickr Tools / Ideas
Not strictly a tool per se, but there are many different ways to use flickr itself as a platform for creating/sharing stories in interesting ways.

37. Flickr Tell a Story in 5 Frames
[] "Tell a Story in 5 Frames has two important parts. The first part is creating and telling a story through visual means with only a title to help guide the interpretation. The second part is the response of the group to the visual story."
 * [|Dominoe]
 * [|The Transformation] by Frizztext
 * [|Paper v. Plastic] by miss.mumford

40. Linking Flickr Notes
[] Using any set of flickr photos, you can link them together via hypertext links embedded into flickr notes - the popups that appear when rolling over an image. You could weave a story together linked linearly or branching, by using these "hotspots" on images
 * [|Dominoe] (look for "next" links in upper right)

41. Pictures with Stories Flickr Group
[] "Your photograph must be accompanied by a story. The story must be at least five sentences long and MUST be true - no poems or fiction please. Tell us something about your photograph, why you took it, the story behind the photograph." This is a loose fit in the 50s as it is more aimed at sharing te thoughts behind a picture.
 * [|Dominoe] same story used as flicktion but added to this new group
 * [|Jenifer Hanen, Pink on Blue]
 * [|not in the mooood for conversation.]

Audio Tools

42. Podcast People

 =Cutting Room Floor= Here are tools I tried that did not work well or ones that have disappeared.

[|http://www.bubbleshare.com] went offline in November 2009 [] "Digital Scrapbooking for Groups" - buggy, crashed, could not create any material [] Went out of business in September 2008, allowed users to download videos [|http://www.flektor.com] is gone; URL goes to MySpace. [] going out of business June 2009 a real shame! [] went out of sight September 30, 2010. Not missed much, it was always buggy and pre-beta-ish [] going out of business June 2009 [] Provides tool to embed a map created in Google's My Maps into any other web site, Google's new tools has this functionality [|http://www.piczo.com] Assemble a "site" where you can add a variety of media types, and also has features of a social networking service. Tool behaved inconsistently when I tried it. [] Looks like a no frills PowerPoint clone; it refused to import a PPT file, and after fiddling with trying to import images, gave up with the difficulty of moving them around. There are plenty of other presentation web apps that work better. [] The "pioneers of social TV" went down Sept 1, 2009 [] appears to be dead too; also a rather buggy presentation tool. I don't miss it. [] They are now charging for an account, you gotta be free to be one of the 50 Tools. [] There is no longer a free version, although my original account seems to be grandfathered see [|Dominoe] [] is just gone with a image that says "beta closed". No tears, it was a lame tool
