Everybody knows those magnetic poetry kits that let you form poems with magnetic words on your refrigerator. This projects lets you do the same thing on the web. You can move the words by dragging them around on the screen and form whatever poem that you like.

What makes it extra cool is that it's persistent. Thus, everyone sees the same window in their browser. So if they move a word, you will see the word move, also—in real time! I thought something like this would be great for a community-_base_d site. In this way, you have an instant audience for your poetic creations and can enjoy those of your peers.

I think the essentially interesting thing about these magnetic poetry kits with words or word-bits on each one, is the constraint. You can of course buy magnets which are just alphabetic, just lots of a's, lots of b's, lots of blanks, etc, etc, but then you can just write anything. With magnetic poetry, you're limited to the words in the set that you happened to buy.
