Simple and nice. I would suggest adding a third option to take a photo from webcam.

Either webcam or from Instagram/Facebook/Flickr, like Picplum does.

Yes, pull an image from my Facebook, let me add a bubble, post it back as a new image.

This is extremely well done and has a lot of potential. A lot of people talked about incorporating it with Facebook and other mediums (maybe an app).

Do it up!

I'm reminded of the... I don't know if it's a quote or a general idea, but the sentiment that the next big thing starts out looking like a toy.

Possible UI bug though - I can't seem to control the line spacing to fit the text in the bubble?

Very cool, I like it and definitely don't find it useless because it's a nice product. I made one: http://phrase.it/show/wMQYy

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Awesome and useful are orthogonal. I found it awesome too, but I have no use for it.

I wouldn't say that they are necessarily orthogonal, in fact, I would say that most of the time they align pretty well.

You shipped code! That alone disqualifies your project from being deemed "useless". Rock on!
