WATERMARK

[This is another flash widget, so the first images are screenshots, and the flash images will go under the cut to speed loading on the main page.]

The imagini widget isn’t exactly an avatar, and it doesn’t aggregate your networks, but it is a nice little widget that could spark up an About Page or MySpace profile. It’s clearly designed for younger folk, but I had a good time with it nonetheless.

It offers a series of questions and images; and from the images you choose emerges your Visual DNA:

Imagini calculates your VisualDNA™ from your choices.
It’s a new way of communicating using images instead of words.

It’s fun, quick and free…

Each tab has nicely written text, presumably describing the user — and
I have to say, it’s not far off. It’s easy to say that, because I think
it’s designed to flatter. Which is fine with me.

There is also a social networking aspect to this widget; along the side of the screen the service lists other people with similar Visual DNA — though I’m not sure similarity equals a good match?

In summary:

Pros:

• Visually appealing
• Very easy to use
• Easily shared
• Fun

Cons:

• It is still beta, though I’ve noticed no problems using it
• Flash, which some folks avoid
• Not a lot of creative scope

See mine below the cut:
