20. Zude [|http://en.gnomz.com/]
Zude is more of a personal web portal, a place you can add media, web sites, text, and customize the layout. Media can be added simply by dropping them in from another web browser window.

Comic 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.

21. gnomz http://en.gnomz.com/
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.
 * [|Dominoe] (as best as I could with limited art!)
 * //Note most of the content on this site is juvenile or inappropriate. Link at your own risk.//

22. ComicsSketch http://www.mainada.net/comics/

Scrapbook Tools
Less a story from point A to B, scrapbook tools provide ways to artistically organize media around a theme, which then again, can easily be a story. Often these can handle more varieties of media, but also become more complex of an interface.

27. Tabblo http://www.tabblo.com/
an application to put together photos and words with styled templates into a visual collage, also creates slideshows, permissions for views, import form flickr, print services (posters etc)

29. Mapwing http://www.mapwing.com/

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.

32. Flickr Tell a Story in 5 Frames http://flickr.com/groups/visualstory/
"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

33. Flickr Six Word Story http://www.flickr.com/groups/sixwordstory/
is "a photo with a Six Word Story in the title section of a Flickr photo. Be as inventive as possible. Have those few words tell the whole tale, and let the picture be its visual interpretation."

 * [|He ached to paint beautiful grafiti.] by pam_ullman
 * [|He couldn't put humpty together again] by gadgetgirl

34. Flicktion http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/flicktion/

 * [|Green Background].
 * [|Subway Tunnel]

35. Linking Flickr Notes http://flickr.com/photos/cogdog/269039506/
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)

36. Pictures with Stories Flickr Group http://www.flickr.com/groups/stories/
"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

 * [|not in the mooood for conversation.]

Audio Tools
There are numerous audio storage / podcast generation tools, but the ones here were selected because they offer ties to other media forms, but are built primarily around the main content as sound.

37. Podcast People http://podcastpeople.com/
This is more of a tool to create podcasts including audio, video content as well as traditional "blog" posts. It could be used to serialize a story into small segments.
 * [|Dominoe]
 * [|FSRC]
 * [|T.A.L.R. Redux '07]

38. Blabberize http://www.blabberize.com/
Rather simple and crude, but can be effective! Upload a picture of a frontal view of a face, mark the key points of the mouth, and record the audio. It creates a simple animation of the mount moving to the sound of the voice.
