//50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story (return)//

toc =The Fifty Tools= include component="page" page="walk this way" Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. Again, the mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. 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.

Slideshow Tools

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
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.

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
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."

40. 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)

41. 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

=New Tools= Below are a few tools that came to my attention after developing the workshop, or just have not had time to Dominoe-ize, but may certainly be as viable as the ones above.
