The Swag Report is back!

Some time ago a few people lamented the demise of The Swag Report, a cool idea by Mike Hillyer… people would take photos of the swag they collect at conferences and other events, and post it to the site with some comment/rating.

At the 2008 MySQL conference we caught up, and I mentioned that I’d be happy to help revive it. It’s not the world’s next big business venture ;-) but really just a bit of fun and sometimes informative. It just seemed like a pity that it disappeared.

So now, it’s baaack. Very simple setup right now, you just upload your photos to Flickr, add the comment with rating you want, and click on the “add to group” button for the swagreport group. You’ll need to join the group first, which is of course free.
The site currently just picks up the Flickr feed using a bit of Javascript. Of course it can be prettier, but it gets things going again. So please do add your swag and opinions!
