#93http://www.imageboard.net/top/ A forum designed without the use of text using just images to communicate with a built in editor and voting tools. Roommate and I made it as a toy for a programming competition, so we weren't expecting grand things. It got grabbed by the 4chan crowd so... uh... yeah. I linked to the best ones for a reason ;)
great concept, i'm glad some crowd picked it up. seems like something 4chan or ytmnd would dig.

Apparently no interest, and then Facebook launched Social Ads, with similar targeting features a month or so later. Was hoping to integrate…
