A new photo sharing service is coming online soon. I know, with Flickr being so popular do we really need another site out there? Well looks like Flickr is a couple steps behind this new service called Slide, sounds pretty interesting:
From Business 2.0 Blog: Instead of just being a Website, Slide is an application you download to your computer. It indexes all of your photos, and then lets you publish albums so that other Slide users can see them, as well as lets you subscribe to albums that other users publish.
Really like the idea of being able to set up RSS feeds of your photos (and video) so that people can subscribe to updates. The only drawback may be that it is a desktop app - then again Picasa is pretty good, so we'll see. The service is in beta right now and you need to be invited. I sent an email to inviteme@slide.com, hopefully they'll let me try it out.
The term “personal broadcasting” seems to be trademarked on the site. What a great term. Makes me think of my earlier post about where the web is headed. Personal, relevant content being distributed and consumed. Great to see this trend continue on.
