“People are paying for songs on the iTunes Music Store because they think it’s a good way to support musicians. But by giving musicians just a few cents from each sale, iTunes destroys a huge opportunity.

“Twexus uses a database of images that I took with small digital cameras since Summer 2001. Currently there are 20385 pictures accessible. Image selection is completely random… Images: Single image display with voting; Pairs: Two images displayed alongside each other. Selection is random as are the resulting combinations. This mode can reload automatically at the desired pace; Symmetry: Randomly selected areas of images mirrored around both axis. Your feedback is used to sort good from bad. Symmetric images that have negative feedback will be deleted and replaced with new variations. Search: Search produces images based on the words that you enter.”
