Ever get so frustrated with the Internet that you wanna just take a pen and write right on top of the screen?

Well, that happened to me so many times that I decided to start a website where people do just that—or the closest possible thing to it—by taking a screenshot and writing right over the top of the web with the software that comes with almost every computer.

And because the last thing I wanted was for us to fall into the same traps we so often fall into in comment sections, I decided it’d be best to use other people’s words to create a sort of collage. Here’s an example where Google meets Sappho.

I’m calling the site Webscribbler, and I’m looking for submissions. If you’re not tech savvy or you don’t know how, I especially want to see yours. There’s directions on the site, and anybody being able to do it is kind of the point. It doesn’t need to look professional.  It just needs to make people think about the Internet in new ways.

If I get enough submissions, I hope to launch the site in the next month. I’m asking for entries by January 15th.
