What would Angelina Jolie say about you? You can really have some fun with Kyolo, a website which lets you upload any photo and add text in the form of speech bubbles.
The process is very easy. Once you upload your own photo (or Angelina Jolie's, or Bill Gates' or Hillary Clinton's...Etc), type in the text which is automatically added to the bubble(s). Text and bubble can both be resized. The bubble can also be rotated to get the right “speech†orientation. Clicking on the shape box will allow you to grab the bubble and move it to wherever you want it to be. You can then send the saved picture to friends and family by email.
Shown here are photos of familiar trendhunters and a selection from Kyolo's pets and celebrity sections. Think you can write funnier bubbles? Then sign up! Kyolo is also a community building site. On the downside, the website lacks a search box but that might come with time.
