CNET News has the scoop on Slide, a new photo sharing service launched by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin on Monday that’s set to steal some of Flickr’s thunder:
[Slide] combines aspects of social networking, photo sharing, Web syndication and e-commerce. At the heart of Slide is a downloadable desktop program that indexes all the photos on the user’s hard drive and creates a slide show at the edge of the screen.
From there, members can invite family, friends and other Slide members to view and save the member’s photos and join Slide as a “friend” in the member’s [online] network. Members can also add one another’s images to their own slide shows and alert one another to new albums. A set of access tools lets users publish their photos to as few or as many people as they wish, and subscribe to other people’s photos.
