If you’re not scanning Facebook, declining invites to play Hidden Chronicles and other “magical” social games, you might find yourself messing around on Doodle.ly. This visual social network is organized around the simple act of doodling, helping users share at times childish, at other times quite serious, drawings. Like finger painting, doodles on Doodle.ly can take on any form. And if you’d rather not commit to drawing something and engaging in a social game with your Facebook friends, Doodle.ly is an interesting, less commitment-focused alternative.
Doodle.ly has already topped 30,000 users. The main audience comprises women 18-24, followed by men of the same age. The third biggest userbase on Doodle.ly is young girls ages 13-17 years of age.
What is it about Doodle.ly that attracts users? Pierre Graf, a user based in Lyon, France, describes his Doodle.ly experience as similar to “sailing on the sea, you have the absolution liberty of your destination and what you’re going to accomplish.” For a glass screen and mild finger-focused interaction, doodlers are able to accomplish quite a bit. Here’s a drawing by Mr. Graf, in fact.
