To create a comic just select a strip format (one box or multiple boxes in various layouts) and start dragging elements into your comic strip. Elements in your comic strip can be resized to fit the frame and maintain proportions among multiple elements. Your comic strip can have multiple pages. When you're done creating your comic strip you can save it online or download it to your computer. Kids do not need to login to create a comic.

is a new service that is best described as a blog platform that offers rich multimedia commenting. If you've ever tried Tumblr, Web Doc will initial look familiar to you. Web Doc makes it easy to create a new post full of multiple media formats. Web Doc provides templates for changing the visual background of each post, widgets for all kinds of purposes (calendar, games, etc), and of course lots of options for video and image display. What makes Web Doc unique is that people who visit your Web Doc can reply with Web Docs of their own. In other words, the comments written in reply to your Web Doc can contain all of the rich multimedia elements that a Web Doc started from scratch can contain. This takes commenting to a new level compared to "traditional" blog platforms that only allow hyperlinks to be inserted into a comment.
