Morin, Duane. Shakeshare: Sharable Shakespeare. Apple App. 28 March 2013.
Shakespeare Geek, author of the Oldest Shakespeare Blog on the Internet, has developed an amazing and amusing app for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, et cetera.
The app provides an enormous array of quotes and images and allows users to e-mail, tweet, or save them. The quotes come in two sorts: quotations from Shakespeare (see an example below) and jokes related to Shakespeare (see an example above and to the right). It's astonishing. The creativity that combines quotes from Shakespeare with playful Shakespeare-related jokes is very fun—but the images behind those quotes raise it to an unmatchable level. You can even use your own images with the fun quotations, sending them to your fellow Shakespeare fans.
Moreover, Shakespeare Geek is running a competition right now until March 31. The details are here, and you could win a copy of Julie Taymor's Tempest.
Download the app for its own sake, but enter the competition, too. Enjoy!
