Convert Google Images to Text Images with Toogle
Toogle the latest in the line of cottage industry websites using Google as their source and tweaking the results it returns to make it more interesting. This site takes a search on Google images and renders the images it returns using text.
Here's what the search for apples returned.

Here's the info taken from their 'about us' page.
Toogle is a Text version of Googles Image Search. Currently it creates images out of the very term that was used to fetch those images, later we will endeavour to create images out of the search terms entered by users past and present. But for now please, go play.
This website is not necessarily recommended for children, minors, or other people of a sensitive nature, since it will most likely present content that might be upsetting. Still it was never my intention to pussy-foot around, and I don't intend on making the site any safer, the net is a big bad dangerous super-highway and if you get upset by images made from text then you might as well give up now.
Obviously this site borrows heavily from Googles own layout and design, but I hope that they do not feel that this is competition and take it in the lighthearted way it was intended. If you wish to contact us at Toogle, please email toogle@c6.org.
One more note: the site is dog slow, I mean barely rendering pages within 30 seconds so be patient. It's fun to mess around with and should be worth lots of laughs for all involved.
This site is by way of waxy.org
