by Gaga_SauraEver wonder on Twitter how those text art tweets are created? Well, at the very least, I found an online tool that helps create them:
Montage of idi.bidi.art founder Marc Fawzi’s 1st attempt at remixing Twitter Art (unicode, ascii), using v0.2 of the world’s first and finest Twitter Art Editor :D
We tried to show most features but there is a lot to show and teach so please fire up your Firefox and go to idibidiart.com and read the help sections! no questions here ! tweet all your questions to @idibidiartists THX bye … The site is live now at http://idibidiart.com (Firefox only while in Beta)

Tilt - Experimental Add-On for FireFox that turns webpages into 3D
Tilt is a fun new Firefox extension focused on creating a 3D visualization of a webpage.
Since the DOM is essentially a tree-like representation of a document, this tool layers each node based on the nesting in the tree, creating stacks of elements, each having a corresponding depth and being textured according to the webpage rendering itself.
Unlike other developer tools or inspectors, Tilt allows for instant analysis of the relationship between various parts of a webpage in a graphical way, but also making it easy for someone to see obscured or out-of-page elements. Moreover, besides the 3D stacks, various information is available on request, regarding each node’s type, id, class, or other attributes if available, providing a way to inspect (and edit) the inner HTML and other properties.
I’ve tried it and it works well. For more info and links to install it can be found here.

Dfacer 0.4.1 - Firefox add-on for graffiti / defacing any web pages!
After you have installed the Dfacer add-on, a new :{ -button appears on the top right corner of your Firefox. While surfing you can click it, select an image from the open page and paint on it. When you are ready, you will get a link to give for your friends. They will need to have Dfacer add-on installed to view your artwork inside the original web page. However, the painting itself is going to be visible without the add-on too, even for users with different browsers.
With Dfacer we want to encourage primitive creativity in office environments, suggest political satire over every instant of news imagery, and discuss the essence of digital files: Is there an original? Who cares!

ShiftSpace (pronounced: §) is an open source browser plugin for collaboratively annotating, editing and shifting the web.
ShiftSpace is an open source layer above any website. It seeks to expand the creative possibilities currently provided through the web. ShiftSpace provides tools for artists, designers, architects, activists, developers, students, researchers, and hobbyists to create online contexts built in and on top of websites.
Emphasis is mine - It certainly has some creative / subversive uses! (See the video)
