Favcol works again

Paul Hammond, 3 June 2010

For those that don't remember it from the first two times around, Favcol is an ongoing attempt to discover the web's favorite color by averaging out the colors in pictures. The first version (by Matt Webb) used MMS, then later on I rebuilt it to use Flickr.

I had to shut it down a few years back because processing the images was overwhelming my small virtual server. The new version offloads all the heavy lifting to someone else's servers. It's also a little bit prettier (but only a little).

Go play with it.
