When using Dvolver, people can create creativity widgets with software
that allows people to communicate in a creative way using internet
technologies. It is a basic software that gives you step by step
instructions on how to make your own movies. Dvolver is said to be a
communication tool, but I think it is more of a creativity tool. I say
this because you are creating more than you are communicating.
