Zingfu - Fun with photos
Ever wanted to see yourself up on a giant screen in Times Square? Or on the cover of Fortune magazine or the front page of a newspaper. It can be done! Do not be surprised.
Zingfu a web 2.0 application allows photo sharing, but with a twist. Users upload pix and add them to 
magazine covers, billboards, celebrity photos, holiday frames, and more which are called Zings. There are about 250 zings available at this point of time and more zings are added on a regular basis. Users can also add wacky speech or thought bubbles to their snaps and post them on popular social networking sites. Users can add speech or thought bubbles to their unique Zings and easily post them to MySpace, Friendster, Hi5, or anywhere else that 40-year old men pretend to be 14-year old girls. Trust me the results are good.
Use of Ajax is commendable and the website of Zingfu is a very good example of Ajax being used to enhance the user experience. When you sign up for the service it is done through a Ajax pop up. Since there are 250 zings available using normal html to display them would have been cumbersome and the user would have to go through many pages. Ajax has helped the developers to show all the zings on the same page and what’s more Ajax has been used to give you a preview of the zing on mouse over the link of the Zing.
ZingFu has taken a small piece of functionality, automated it and put a web based interface on it. It is like taking 0.1% of the functionality of Photoshop and making it understandable by 99.9% of the population. How many people do you think could make the following picture in Photoshop? To have an answer search for Zingfu in google or browse the users of MySpace or Friendster.
