Address: Geoff Gaudreault, www.gaudreault.org www.slideroll.com Slide.com Vendor: Slide, Inc. Purpose: A set of online services for making and publishing slide shows Chapter 27 ■ Slide Show Creation 313 Description Slide.com is the top online service for making and sharing slide shows. It comprises more than one product. It includes Slideshows, FunWall, and SuperPoke!, which are all popular widgets used on social networking and blog platforms such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, Tagged, and Blogger. Itself dubbed the “$500 Million Widget” by BusinessWeek on account of its spectacular growth, Slide.com has leveraged the success of these sites, adding animation and decorative elements to make ordinary images look more fun. Slide show creation is available in German, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean. Once you have uploaded images you can select from Styles, Skins, Themes, Music/Video, Background, Effects, Size, and Privacy (public or private viewing permission). The video selector lets you play a popular music video as a thumbnail in a corner of the show. Among Slide.com’s other applications, FunPix allows you to personalize images with stickers, graffiti, thought bubbles, and so on. SkinFlix lets you frame YouTube videos with skins such as diamonds or a plasma TV. Comments A business created by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, Slide.com has created a new breed of online applications that offers few instructions; it just lets you upload images and click some buttons to add the effects. The Slide.com widgets are not intended to exist independently of the social networking sites to which they add substantial functionality and value. However, you can go directly to the Slide.com site and make a slide show, adding images from any of the previously mentioned sites as well as Flickr, PhotoBucket, or any other site.
