Cornify is all about giving internet users choice of customization. MySpace is a great example of a successful company with a similar vision. Facebook with its Windows 3.1 look - not so much. Cornify provides a service that allows users to cover any website in a beautiful array of unicorn and rainbow imagery - taking back the web one 'corn at a time.

To give credit where credit is due, this concept was heavily inspired by AddThis.

I must agree, this is the number one unicorns and rainbow adding site on the internet. I am disappointed that they don't frolic about and they appear blind the concept of whitespace areas, perhaps in the "pro" edition.

I am also a bit ashamed that I executed a stranger's Javascript in my Hacker News context. Who knows what just happened to my cookie? (Ok, I just read the URL and I'm safe, at least for the javascript present the instant I downloaded it.)

It does exactly what it says it will, and it does it with style.

Highly recommended. Would corn again.

I almost cried when a unicorn covered up the "cornify" button and I had to stop.

I've got a fever ... and the only cure is more unicorns.

This is bound to "go viral" and have "organic growth"

If I were you I'd start seeking VC immediately. At the end of the day, this idea is so simple, so uniquely brilliant and really well executed that you can worry about a business model after you're done acquiring users.

BRILLIANT!

yea, I like the glitter! If I could move them around, and if I kept clicking the button they popped up, that would be super cool.

Also, perhaps after overuse, it showed the occasional raincloud?

I was wondering if that's a bug or a feature...

I'm obviously doing something wrong. Nothing happens when I click the button, and I can't drag the link at right to my toolbar. I spent 3 minutes trying all sorts of things, and have given up.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm using IE7 on Windows XP Home, and I have JavaScript turned on. I don't see unicorns, glitter, or any changes.
