Joggels.com - Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture

Joggels, with its Twitter-esque logo and doggerel handle, is in the business of silly photos. The idea stems from something called shaked faces or joggels which users can upload and publish for viewers all over the world. Basically, you take an up close photo of yourself making some sort of face usually involving the puffing up of your jowls as a result of your shaking your head violently as you click your camera. Yes, that is indeed what joggels is all about. Shaken faces. After you’ve posted your joggel, the community will judge it and rate it, potentially earning you top spot for the month. There’s even a Joggel store, where you can buy Joggel hoodies, messenger bags, mugs and camisoles. A tip before you start joggeling—relax your face muscles, and shake it like a Polaroid picture.

“Joggels.com was launched in November 2007, as an entertaining web community with pictures of shaked faces - so called Joggels. The idea was to create a site where people could upload their photos to present it worldwide. Every user is allowed to watch the Joggel pictures and vote for them. At the end of each month, the most voted image enters the "Hall Of Fame". Joggels.com is free of use.

This is silly, but silliness sells. Joggel has just the right amount of ridiculousness to make it big. It’s fun, it’s easy and it’s a way to get your face on the web. The merchandising option already gives it a sort of cult status, making it even more in.

Will this catch on? Does it have staying power? Seriously. Joggels?
