I was hoping it would pipe screenshots (e.g. snap.com's snapshots) through aalib and/or an OCR engine (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/).
ditto
Was hoping it would also convert the images...nope.
aalib converts the images as well.

It's a disappointment!
I wanted to see my design converted into ASCII not my text...
I made this simple Perl CGI several years ago for generating ASCII art websites: http://tastytronic.net/asciiweb/
There are links on that site that direct to other sites using the same engine.
it would be cooler if it didn't discard my stylesheet
lynx -dump http://www.google.com | figlet
There's an SDL extension which does ASCII art graphics drivers...
libcaca does ascii video :-)
Cool. Why?
