dropular0000

Dropular is a media bookmarking service created by Andreas Pihlstrom (suprb.com). Inspired by very much loved Delicious, FFFFound and Digg, Dropular combines functions and ideas from these sites to bring you one of the best design inspiration resources on the web.

Thanks to the very useful and easy to use bookmarklet, as you find an interesting image, video or link, using javascript wizzery you are given an option to select which image you would like to ‘drop’. Once you have clicked on the image you like, you will be taken to dropular page to tag. You personal “home” page includes all your recent drops. You can follow interesting people, watch their drops, and in addition Dropular includes a RSS feed of all your drops so sharing these with your friends by feeding into twitter (see tutorial) or your facebook page couldn’t be easier.

With about 600 drops daily by many people already using the service, you’ll be sure to get the best of the web in art, design, photography and illustration.

Ten days ago Andreas submitted Dropular iPhone app to the Appstore. Still waiting approval, The app is now available! ($0.99). The app allows you to browse yours and others’ drops for daily inspiration on the go (see movie below).

Andreas was born and raised in Stockholm / Sweden. Specialised in typography, code, movable and static shapes since 1978. He is a Founder of the type foundry Subtype and Beep Machine™ and Consult Designer & Developer at Universal Everything.

Currently, Dropular is an invite only service. We have only 2 invites left so if you would like to join, leave a comment below and we’ll pick two people by random tomorrow.

You can also see my drops here. If you are on Twitter, follow dropular here.

    oh it will be great to get in!….I feel that Dropular will rely helps me to interconnect all my stories and films and ideas that I want ti share from the 5 years of traveling around the Globe and finding places and people inspired by Tesla….

  28. Would love to try dropular. Really love both delicious and FFFFound. The Vimeo video looks great

  29. I'd love an invite… Pretty please? :)

  30. Hey all, I just got another 5 invites but in a bit of dilemma. I would love you all to have them but there is never going to be enough invites for everyone. Now that I have 5 new ones, it's really hard to decide how to give them away, ie who really wants them Vs who just wants to try out the service.

    So, I've gone through the comments once again and picked few people I felt really could/would contribute to the dropular community. Off course, if more come up, make sure you comment is here and I'll see what I can do.

  31. Invite on it's way!

    Ah, I'm always late to the party – I missed out on the original invites too :(
    Anyway, Andreas has had my respect for a long time – I'm a Gridalicious user, and already belong to TypeNeu (a great resource, together with reformrevolution). Been waiting for Dropular on iPhone since I first heard it was in the making.
    If you do get any more invites, I'd certainly be most appreciative to receive! But either way, Dropular is still suprb ;)

  49. inspiring great! still looking for an invite …

  50. I tried http://vi.sualize.us/ but not that popular among artists and creative scene. would like a dropular invite ^3^

    Thank you- Drop in when you like.

  52. pick me! pick me! invitation i will gladly accept! u guys are brilliantabulous & fierce.

  53. Would really love to get an invite. I'm thinking it's the only way that this magnificent site would ever expand to Estonia or at least expand in my friends area. I'm an photography student so this kind of site is just perfect!

    Crossing my fingers and hoping that in some miraculous way I'll get an invite.
