Comeeko is the best Web 2.0 site in the history of the universe

Warning: This will be addictive. Earlier today I read about Comeeko on ShinyShiny, and let's just say I haven't gotten much else done at the office for quite some time. (Sorry, editors.) Comeeko is a fun and super-easy way to arrange your photographs into comic book panels and then share them with your friends. It's highly Ajax-y: we're talking drag-and-drop functionality, easy uploads, and the like. You can't get up to a particularly high resolution (i.e. to print, or to order prints) but Comeeko makes it easy for you to share it on a blog, forum, or MySpace profile.

This is not for serious electronic comic artists who want to create a legitimate storyboard. Comeeko is way too limited for that. Rather, this is a way for you to turn your online photos into a dorky comic-style display. Needless to say, it's a lot of fun and a great procrastination tool. And maybe if it catches on, the site will add a bit more functionality.
