    Unless you’re the nostalgic type (I know I am), this won’t interest you much. Rollip is a basic web service that allows you to upload pictures and turn them into Polaroid-quality photos. Once you’ve selected your desired effect, you can upload a pic and Rollip will automatically transform your photo to look like an ancient Polaroid shot, complete with fitting discoloration, blurryness and the trademark frame around it.

    Once you have, you can download the photo or share it on your social network of choice or by e-mail.

    Here’s a picture I took last week at The Europas event in London, featuring TechCrunch’s Sarah Lacy and Paul Carr.
