Slide.com
Slide.com is the top online service for making and sharing slide shows. Using it is a simple 3-step process: Create; Save; and Share. Once you have uploaded images you can select: 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.
It's easy to save your show and then share it by posting it to a social network site, such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Hi5, Bebo, Orkut, Friendster, Piczo, Tagged, Live Spaces or Blogger. Among Slide.com's other applications, FunPix allows you to personalize images with stickers, grafitti, thought bubbles, etc; while SkinFlix lets you frame YouTube videos with skins such as diamonds or plasma TV.
Comment
Slide.com presents its slide show creation service with as little clutter and fuss as possible. Most users can figure out how it works -- but if not, there is now a very comprehensive FAQ that explains everything about it.
Slide.com widgets are not intended to exist independently of the social networking sites to which they add substantial functionality and value, but you can go directly to the Slide.com site and add images from the above-mentioned sites as well as Flickr, PhotoBucket and others.
