After having launched in private beta in January and operating on an invite-only basis, Canvas has now become available to the general public. We can define it as a media sharing community that actually enables users to edit what they mean to upload right on their browsers. Others are then allowed not only to comment on it, but also to drag and drop visual icons and stickers to make it clear how what’s shared makes them feel. There’s one icon for these images that make one smile, another for these that are not that tasteful, yet another for these that are quite intelligent or eloquent… and of course, what good would Canvas be without a “LOL” icon?
The site is free to join and use, with accounts being created in a breeze. Users are actually enabled to create and join groups, and have immediate access to these streams of content that would appeal to them the most.
And it’s important to mention that the site can also be used anonymously, so that those who have a picture that’s crying out to be shared but that they don’t want to become connected with will be able to get the sharing done without running into any unnecessary complications.
Canvas has been created by famed 4chan founder Christopher Poole (or “Moot”, as he’s better-known online).
