Each week it randomly chooses a popular search term which becomes the sketch subject for the week.

After covering 2 websites that have drawing and sketches as the main subject – Scribble and iSketch – it is time to go on with the 3rd which corresponds to SwarmSketch.

Like the title suggests, SwarmSketch is a website for the masses. Each visitor can draw a line related to the subject of the week, this week is the iPhone as you can clearly see on the image.

After making that single line, the visitor can afterwards vote for the opacity of other lines, for example, if you feel there is a sketch on the drawing that doesn’t make any sense you can just put the opacity to zero percent, submit it, and the line will “disappear” if other voters share the same feeling as you.

So far this iPhone has 529 sketches and 5,863 opacity votes; each line is voted an average of 11 times and gets 51% of opacity. Interesting numbers that in the end make up for the whole picture.

There is a big gallery (with 150 drawings) you can browse and the best thing to do is view the history animation of some drawings, seriously, it is amazing!

SwarmSketch was developed by Peter Edmunds as part of an honours project at the University of Canberra.

Visit SwarmSketch.

PS – It is much easier to check the meaning of a specific drawing if you see the thumbnail instead of the whole image.

Remember iSketch? It is a website I talked a few weeks ago, more precisely an online flash game to draw stuff and let other people guess the word of what you are trying to sketch = interact with other people on the internet in real time.

I just found a similar version of the game, but it can be played on a TV and it is now called “Win, Lose or Draw“. In this version you can pick a difficulty level and there are plenty of tips (about 1500) to help the most unoriginal players.

The LDC screen on the drawing pad gives you a word or phrase and the clock starts ticking down the 60 seconds you have to draw. As you draw on the pad, your image appears instantly on the TV screen!

Price: $40

To celebrate the birth of the Internet category at UberReview, I would like to present one of the greatest online games ever – iSketch:

The object of the game is simple. Each player gets a chance to draw a word which the other players will try to guess.

While trying to guess the words you can only type and hope to get it right, in my opinion the fun part is in drawing the suggested word and if you draw as bad as me, it will be lots of fun. The game is all done in flash and works perfectly, there are plenty of commands and options you can chose – from giving a hint to skip the drawing proccess.

Being able to play online with friends and controling a room of your own is a great advantage, you can probably pass a good saturday night having fun and socializing on the internet.

You don’t even need to register in order to play, just create a new username and you are good to go. Here is a screenshot taken during the middle of a game.
