20 Years of Popular Front: 2002
2002 was the year Popular Front launched SnowDays—sort of like Twitter with snowflakes, but 5 years before the avian social media hub started sucking up all of our free time. SnowDays was first conceived as a holiday greeting for Popular Front’s friends and clients and quickly grew to an internet phenomenon of sorts, with its own fan site and nearly 9 million snowflakes made to date.

Love the site, also like the fact that we can go to MisterX to learn how to make beautiful flakes.
flaking became easy with a flaking school to go to.
I really enjoy making snowflakes, and the way that people from all over connect with eachother in “Flakeville.” I don’t get to flake as much as I’d like, but I really love it when I do get to sit down and clip away to my heart’s content and exchange thoughts with other flakers
So, when are you going to start offering custom screensavers from this?! I’d pay to have the flakes I have made over the years saved for posterity into a screensaver type program. You can already pull up a person’s flakes via search, surely there is a way to use that feature to make custom snow storms for sale? (I say this because I notice that the flakes I made prior to this past year have “melted”. *sad*)

SnowDays has certainly been an addiction for me. This January marks my 5th “flake-a-versary” (5 years of flake making).
It has been a wonderful place to create and discover, and I’ve met people there that I will know for many years to come.
ThanX for an AWESOME site!
Love the site, when doing a search for someone, however, i wish all the flakes would be open, so you didn’t have to catch them to open them. It’s fun stuff!
I love the snow days site but the changes you made to it are not all that great.We nolonger can use the Alt key for straight lines and soom in and out nolonger work. Would you please fix these problems. I know it takes time to work out kinks . I do like some of your changes but please give us back our Alt Key and soom in/out. Thank you for this site it is a wounderful place to create flakes and visit with friends. KK Grove Ok
