The works of people on this website were very interesting and very amusing to me. I do consider them to be compositions and very creative compositions at that. However, I would not consider some of them as valid forms of written text as compared to a book or a story. However, the piece labeled Inanimate Alice, Episode 1: China seemed to me like a very well written and well thought out piece of literature and creativity. The whole story was very easy to understand and the addition of visual and sound effects made the viewer/reader feel like they were in the story. The mysterious music made me feel worried and scared to see what was going to happen next.
Another piece that stood out to me was I, You, We by Dan Waber and Jason Pimble. The creativity of this piece was actually left for the reader to configure for his or herself. The words I, You and We were put on a set of three dimensional X, Y, and Z axis with many other words which were mostly verbs and the words rotated and moved around so that the reader could make out his own sets of words. In that sense, the reader was also part composer and was able to choose which words to pair up with which verbs. Although this piece was very interesting and entertaining, I still would not consider the piece as a form of written text in comparison to a paragraph or and form of published text.

I agree, I found the work that people did on this website to be very interesting and amusing to me. It never ceases to amaze me what some people can do with a computer program. I wish I could make things like some of the stuff on here. I saw the same story about Alice in China and I liked that one the best by far. I really liked the way that the creator incorporates the text perfectly with the video. And the little PDA that the creator has that she draws pictures on and uses throughout the story is really cool to me. I like how they made it seem almost like we were using the PDA, not Alice.
