Stumbled across this tonight. Replace the 8 “N”s in the following link with a largish 8-digit number (numbers starting with 4021 were working reasonably well) to find random peoples photo albums on PhotoWorks: http://www.photoworks.com/util/slideShowLarge2.jsp?stackID=NNNNNNNN A lot of numbers don’t work …but some do.

It’s a not un-weird experience. I can’t say that I recommend that you try it, or that I would suggest that you try it …but it was just too bizarre of an experience not to share. Not a new concept, manually munging URLs, but in this case, since it was with people’s semi-private (insofar as they were anonymous) photo galleries, the weird factor was waay up. At least for me. YMMV.

And I’m hoping to elicit some strong opinions (pro or con) from my readership. Things like that are good for traffic :)
