- beforeseven, on 12/19/2007, -0/+87Interesting. Must have been fun to code this. Unfortunately, it produces a LOT of markup, so couldn't imagine using it on an actual website.
- daok, on 12/19/2007, -8/+50It works so great : http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/1593/greatrz5.p ...
- inactive, on 12/19/2007, -1/+34I'll probably never use it but that's a pretty cool concept.
- vanscott, on 12/19/2007, -0/+26What is wrong with self-promotion when you have something decent to share? Getting the word out is half the battle and digg is a great forum to do this.
Well done and not as bloaty as most people make out. - Zoshchenko, on 12/19/2007, -6/+28But can't you do all of this in Microsoft Word? (SLAP!)
- saifatlast, on 12/19/2007, -1/+20Did you expect to be able to do arbitrary shapes without tons of markup? This is clearly not meant for everyday use.
- Duositex, on 12/19/2007, -0/+19How do you know its shameless? maybe he cries himself to sleep...
- cbartlett, on 12/19/2007, -8/+27Way too much markup bloat for my tastes.
- revjustin2, on 12/19/2007, -0/+12The Five Sided Triangles are the best rap group EVER!
- MatchStick, on 12/20/2007, -2/+13lol

LOL:
Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a ***** about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."
Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"
You make babies cry. - vanscott, on 12/19/2007, -0/+10you mean your ***** comments?
http://digg.com/users/channelzero - whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -1/+10Yeah, screw rectangles. Time someone took them down a peg or two. And squares. Those smug bastards, always lording their equal sides and right angles over all the other quadrilaterals. I hate them so much.
- DesignerDave, on 12/19/2007, -0/+8I'm still a fan of rectangles.
That said, this is a really cool tool. - MatthewGranda, on 12/20/2007, -3/+11Oh... Come on. You knew someone was going to do it sooner or later. LMAO
http://i12.tinypic.com/6q28ha1.png - katrayun, on 12/19/2007, -2/+9It's cool looking, but a bit of a pain to actually read. Why would you ever use this?
- Me1000, on 12/19/2007, -0/+7Digg doesnt like noscript either!
- Me1000, on 12/19/2007, -1/+7how is this 3d again?
- darkmotion, on 12/19/2007, -0/+6That was the dumbest exclamation I've heard in a long time.
- 5xSTUN, on 12/19/2007, -2/+6It's only a matter of time before someone uses this to make a new version of the goatse man.
- PopcornDave, on 12/19/2007, -0/+3In certain aspects, I can see how you could use it. I think more for company names in a particular shape, like the wine glass in the examples, would be a good use.
- katrayun, on 12/19/2007, -0/+3Yes, I can see it being used effectively in print, but I don't know... I wouldn't dream of making my visitors read more than 1-2 words in that format on the screen, ever.
- AdrewMc3, on 12/19/2007, -0/+2I think that if you are going to make a companies name into complex shapes, it would usually be it's logo. I would rather get a graphic designer to make a good and polished one than this script. I could see it used in children books, like making the story about a slide into the shape of a slide as an example, or other more creative writing.
- bxblox, on 12/20/2007, -1/+3Props to the creator, not very practical to use though
- OverlordXenu, on 12/20/2007, -1/+3LULZ
- OldTea, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2"When I was younger, I had a problem...I would sit there all day...and draw *****..."
- damien6669, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2That's sad, You're really a tool.
(at least that's what I read first) - TheBSG, on 12/20/2007, -1/+3While this doesn't pass web standards for markup or syntax, it brings the issues with CSS and images to the forefront. The computer age really needs to get out of the habit of defining everything based on right angles. I anticipate the days of vector-based operating systems, and vector based web design.
- dual, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1Buried for not giving credit to Eric Meyer's work on this, years earlier

http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/curvelicious/dem ... - dual, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1Lol MS word is a terrible HTML generator. Ever looked at the source, or viewed the output in a non-IE browser? (hint: try using "quotes" and see what you get: Nonexistent, per ISO specs, characters that do not display in Firefox etc. AFAIK)
- dadulus, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1i wonder if this will help or hinder seo. The code looks terrible.....doubteful if i will ever use it.

Doesn't give props to Eric Meyer who pioneered this!

http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/raggedfloat/demo ... - usabiltiyninja, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Great idea and amazing effort, now I'm not saying don't use it, but lets not forget 'scannability'.. It looks great, creative, and fun but just keep in mind when using it can people read the text easily ? Use it sparingly for effect ...but wonky wads of lots of text would be a hard read...
- repoulin, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1CSS to make a website look more creative and SEO friendly. Kinda reminds me the of the days of ASCII Art
- lintmonkey, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1...just none I can think of off the top of my head.

- theMcPatriot, on 12/20/2007, -2/+2Clever, but I don't see a practical use for it. I was never in favor of shaped text in Print Design either.
Also, screw rectangles? The printed word was sort of based on rectangles, going all the way back to Guttenberg. Going to be tough to get them out of the process. - jackoss, on 08/27/2009, -0/+0your news
