David Fulmer, a profoundly deaf man came up with an idea that may be the next DeafRead. Whoa, I'm not saying it will replace DeafRead.com at all. I'm using the name, DeafRead as a term to describe the popularity. He's working on a project with the same concept used at BlogFaces and Joi Ito for the deaf bloggers. David were inspired by the concept of 'Random Faceroll" found on Joi Ito's blog. I think it's a neat idea and I definitely will consider the idea of embedding it into my blogsite if it's made available to the public.
To get the idea of what I'm talking about, just go here to read David's blog entry on the "Deaf Faceroll' feature of his. I think this is a great concept and should be expanded to the Deaf Blogosphere. The last time I checked, there are around 33 faces in the database including mine. It also features the familiar faces including Ridor, Kokonut, Jared Evans and more.
A lot has happened in the last few months and that wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for DeafRead. Heck, I wouldn't have known about David Fulmer if it weren’t for DeafRead.
Update: I just checked the Deaf Faceroll. I reported earlier today that there were around 33 faces in the database. Now it's 38, that's 5 more faces in just a few hours. I'm glad to see that it's already popular. If I were to make a suggestion, I would think DeafRead would benefit from this feature if David of Daveynin's Thing is willing to collaborate with Jared and Taylor of DeafRead to share this feature and allow as many bloggers to embed it into their blogsites if possible.
