Please add a way to link to these chains! Some of them are quite funny and worth sharing.

After the competition we plan on adding this and other requested features like a better drawing tool and ipad support.

Seems like more die than doodle.. HTTP 500's.

Victim of our own success! We had no idea how popular this would be come. We expected a few hundred drawings and we already have over 3000!

I restarted the node service and it should be back now.

This is a favorite of mine, though I know it as "Eat Poo You Cat". A narrower marker or a real color selector would both be nice. The server appears to be down now, though.

It's a type of Exquisite corpse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_cadaver

According to wikipedia the original version was text only, while I think the pure image version is most common on the internet, but the alternating version is definitely the most fun to play! :)

I've always thought a fascinating thing about the game is how certain images are so iconically associated with particular words that they'll make it through several iterations. (Such as the zombie example elsewhere in the thread -- once a zombie appears, it's so recognizable that it sticks around.)
