<p><a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/10/designers-behind-williamsburg-spycam-styleblaster-insist-its-not-the-hipster-creepshots/">Styleblaster</a>, a <a href="http://www.styleblaster.com/">project</a> installed by a handful of Brooklyn-based technologists that uses a camera to chronicle the sartorial choices of Williamsburg residents and upload the photos in real-time to the web, has quickly devolved into trolling.</p>
<p>When a Daily Dot <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/society/williamsburg-spycam-location-styleblaster/">commenter</a> used Google Maps to sleuth out the address, it <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/10/secret-camera-in-williamsburg-taking-creepy-pics.html">spread</a> across the internet lightning-fast. The camera is <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/society/williamsburg-spycam-location-styleblaster/">situated</a> in a window at 234 Driggs Ave., a block from the Bedford Avenue stop.</p>
<p><!--more-->Now, Styleblaster has become the <a href="http://ny.remezcla.com/2012/latin/styleblaster-update-now-with-more-trolling/">target</a> of orchestrated trolling attacks from sites like Remezcla, which <a href="http://styleblaster.net/p/9490">dispatched</a> a blogger to strut in weird masks and costumes in front of the camera. Donning colorful masks, sombreros and big thick mustaches, they quickly racked up a fair amount of "tophats," which is the style blog's equivalent of an upvote.</p>
<p>The Remezcla team <a href="http://styleblaster.net/p/9487">aren't the only ones</a> who have taken to mugging for the camera. Otherwise oblivious passersby quickly caught on once word of Styleblaster hit the web--one even gave the <a href="http://www.styleblaster.net/p/8991">finger</a> to the camera. <a href="http://styleblaster.net/p/9643">Here's</a> a picture of a girl slurping a soda and making a "what up" gesture.</p>
<p>A "<a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/10/designers-behind-williamsburg-spycam-styleblaster-insist-its-not-the-hipster-creepshots/">destination for New York City peacocks</a>," indeed.</p>
