Thing 24 or Thing ∞

Thing ∞ is about staying current, new and exciting. It's where we post things that we like but for one reason or another don't feel they belong in The 23 Things.

It's kind of like the demonstration sports at the Olympics.

Here then are some things you might want to play with and the reasons they are not in The 23 Things.

Animation

1. Xtranormal: We really like Xtranormal and its text-to-animation software. It's fairly easy to use but recently instituted a coin-op model where you get free Xtranormal Coins when you register, 300 we think, and then they charge you 100 coins each to publish your animations. That we don't like, at all.
2. GoAnimate: Another, even easier to use, text-to-animation site. Once you get over the legless characters with disembodied feet, it's great fun. Still, there is the coin-op model here too. The part we really don't like is that you can "invite" your friends to earn coins. Still, worth using the free stuff at the beginning to play with.
