On my usual daily trawl of new social media tools and start up’s I normally find one diamond that catches the eye and today’s no different. Today’s offering is called Go Animate; a slick little easy to use animation tool. To see an overview of how it works click here.
The social elements
A blog, which I only found by chance after scrolling down to the bottom of the page. The blog talks about all the latest features and development.
Contests: To either win $5000, most creative animation or $2,500 most popular as voted by the public. - a good way to get users to your site me thinks!
Mingle: Become a fan of a user and leave message of the animations and rate them.
Embed animations into your blog and Facebook, etc,etc!
Overall
Nice looking fun site that is very easy on the eye, with a twist of competition to make you work a little harder at your animation.
