CraigsTalker
..... or is it CraigStalker?

This is another window into the collective unconscious as channeled by Craigslist and Flickr. It searches Craigslist postings and plugs the titles into Flickr and overlays the posting title on whatever pictures it finds. Point it at, for example, San Francisco's Casual Encounters and the results can be hilarious and oddly poetic.

It can also do snazzy things like speak the posting title and/or body using a computer robot voice, and display the pictures fullscreen against a black background on either monitor 1 or 2 so they look great on a projector.

And it has a mode where it can search for pictures of cute fuzzy animals, which also produces some interesting juxtapositions.

You can say how much you hate it in the forum or via email, but try to use the forum first.

Here's a few pics it produced while I was putting up this webpage:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's some pictures it made when searching for cute fuzzy animals instead of using the posting titles...

FAQ:

Q) How do I change the voice?

A) Craigstalker uses the default voice selected in Windows. So go to Control Panel --> Speech.

Q) What are some better voices than that damn Microsoft Sam crap that comes with Windows?

A) I really like the AT&T Natural Voices, and I like the Neo Speech voices even better. Neo Speech Paul sounds great with Craigstalker. I'm told all these are available on eMule...
