DailyCaption uses Flickr tags to select a random photo everyday for people to create a caption for. Registered users can submit captions, vote on others’, and comment on the ones that are posted.
The user whose caption has received the most positive votes that day is selected as the winner. As the winner, DailyCaption takes one of that person’s tags from their “tag pool” to search on Flickr for the next random competition photo. Each photo is up for a full day’s worth of voting. Users win points by signing up, creating captions, having other members vote for their captions, and winning daily competitions. On the other hand, users can also lose points by users voting against their captions and by posting spam. The point is to gain as many points as possible so that you have more control over the next day’s picture and you get noticed for being the most creative with your captions.
DailyCaption.com In Their Own Words
“Caption contests are one of those games that everyone and their mom enjoyed playing in forums. The concept is that someone would post some random photo and the community would add creative captions to that photo. My goal for DailyCaption was to take this idea and give it a nice “web 2.0″ spin (sorry for the buzzword). On DailyCaption, Flickr photos are generated by community tags, participants can rate captions, and they can earn points to encourage bragging rights.”
Why DailyCaption.com It Might Be A Killer
The site is easy to use and pleasant to look at. There are already a steady group of people commenting on the pictures. People will enjoy reading the entertaining captions and voting for the ones they like the best.
