One Sentence
Sarah introduced me to this book in our collection called The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris van Allsburg. It's a wonderful and simple children's book that is truly unique. The basis of the book is a series of complete stories told in only one sentence. This "one sentence" website is the perfect, grown up, online verion of that book.
The website also reminds me a little of those Post Secret books (which are super entertaining) in that you get this little piece of information but it can open up the character of a whole person for you. Very intriguing either way. Some of the sentences on this website could almost inspire you to write a whole story from their suggestion ... ah, but does that infringe upon a copyright law somewhere? Beats me...
I also played around a little with HairMixer which was fun but would be more fun if you uploaded a picture of yourself or your friends. Of all the "makeover" websites out there that claim they can help you see yourself with that daring new hairdo before you get it cut, this one works by far the best.
I doubt either of these applications have any major use in a library setting, but I had fun either way. :)
