Mugshot Yourself

New York. 1864. And you get arrested by detective Kevin Corcoran, on his patrol at Five Points neighborhood. Your mugshot would be something similar to the one you can make at Mugshot Yourself.

This fun photo app is a part of the web campaign for Copper, the crime drama series set in 1860s New York City by BBC America. From Academy Award®-winner Barry Levinson and Emmy® Award-winner Tom Fontana, it premiered last Sunday and besides the web app, the Facebook Page has a  Timeline creating a ich background for the series.

And even if  i’m not that a regular user of GetGlue,  it’s always interesting to see how a new TV series tries to expand their core audiences by using social channels.

Cute-Fight

It’s like Hot-Or-Not for pets.

And that’s about all there is to say, specially because the site is still in alpha, as a funny experiment by Derek Powazek and team on game mechanics using one of the most common and adorable themes on the whole Internet: pets.

Members become “managers” and create profiles for their pets (aka “fighters”) and then challenge others to a Cute-Fight. The winners of these fights are determined by the community vote, with winners being awarded special trophies.

I keep wondering about the future spin-offs: Hot-Or-Not for … cars | babies | bedrooms | cupcakes ?

P.S: Don’t forget to vote for my cute-fighter, Bill.
