The website art.com,
which sells posters and prints online, has come up with an interesting
way to build their email list. They provide visitors a neat graphics
tool called artPad
where visitors can create art and send it to their friends, and the
website collects the resulting email addresses for their list.
(Although I was glad to see the email had clear opt-out instructions.)
The tool generates an animation of the graphic being created. This portrait of myself was done by my friend Libby.

A quick technorati search
seems to suggest it hasn’t been online very long … if you have made an
image, leave the URL generated when you email it to a friend in the
comments.
