SITO - Operative Term Is Stimulate
SITO is an art site. It hosts art in a big way (693 artists, 13399 works a few minutes ago) and provides some neat collaborative art opportunities. There is a rather low-volume set of discussion forums - each artwork has an area for people to discuss it. Pretty much anybody (I don’t know of any limitations, but when I signed up it was a manual process on their end, and I suspect that if you don’t play nice they won’t let you play) can get a user ID and post artworks. Surprisingly, most of the art is very good.
They recently had a hard drive on the server go bad, and I had to go without SITO for several days. When they got it back up, I looked around at what I have posted there.
I have a work here dated 1995.
Ten Freakin’ Years!
I’ve wandered in and out - there was one time I realized I had been away for two years.
That means that Ed and Jon have been doing this for more than a decade - I don’t know how long they had been doing it when I first dropped by - and they didn’t take big time off.
Not only is that just an impressive amount of work and dedication, it’s pretty amazing the way this site stays fresh and fun, and still celebrates the new connectedness that the ‘net brings.
