Creating creativity

It is not very often that I have time to sit down and just browse the Internet, or "surf the web," as some old people say.  However, as of late, I think I am going to start dedicating more time to just that.  My typical Internet use looks similar to most people my age: I check my email, I check my Facebook for any action, I creep around on Facebook, I glance at Twitter, and occasionally I check my bank account (usually a depressing occasion).  Of course, my current post-college blues also has me frantically searching for jobs on the Internet as well.

All of these things do not constitute simply perusing the web, and that is what I am here today to promote!  To get everyone jump started on this, I will share an interesting website I have recently stumbled upon. I am on a quest to find those websites that are educational, worth my time, creative, and entertaining (very high demands).

The eBiz website chooses the Top 10 Best Flash Websites of the year, which are judged on use of audio/visuals, accessibility, and uniqueness.  This year's top Flash website is: http://moodstream.gettyimages.com.  According to the eBiz site it is described as "a hypnotic website brought to you by the folks at Getty Images that offers a brainstorming tool designed to help get your creative juices flowing."  I think it is a pretty cool idea!  The combination of photography, cinematography, and music is intriguing.  Basically, you can decide what mood you're in, adjust sliders to match that mood, and then the website adjusts what photos, footage, music, and pacing will best get your inspiration going.  Perfect for writers and artists of all kinds.
