You did something interesting recently.
I wanted to share a few links to things that are related to Screenshots of Despair, as well as to the general idea behind this blog.
-This Nevolution post, titled “Mood-board of Unknown Tumblrs” says some interesting things about emotion and the New Aesthetic, name-checking Webcamtears (a project whose editor also runs La Gazette du Mauvais Gout), Rich Kids of Instagram and Rob Walker’s Pergoogle. (Close readers will recall that Mr. Walker gave this site a huge boost when he wrote about it for Design Observer.)
About SoD, Nevolution says: “It’s the most interesting of the bunch, but it’s the one I feel least comfortable writing about.

-Screenshots connoisseur Hayley Pearce sent in this article about skeuomorphic design, and the interaction and tension between the physical world and the digital one. Mr. Walker (cited above!) has also tackled this topic, and very well.
-Screenshots also got a little mention on Lost at E Minor.
-Panacea: A Screenshots reader submitted this site. It has a MAKE EVERYTHING OK button. Maybe it will make you feel better?
