What does Slide... do?
- unohoo 16y agoLast I heard, they were still trying to figure it out :)
- joshu 16y agoI've always wondered this myself.
- uuilly 16y agoAs near as I can tell it makes 14 y/o girls happy. I can wrap my head around a lot of small companies going big, but I never could find a way to rationalize the hype behind slide.
- seiji 16y agoI always thought it was another case of Founder-itis. Popular founder = press = perceived popular product (almost no matter what it does) = good exit or a pity exit.
- rokhayakebe 16y agoI think most people who have a Myspace account use Slide to display pictures.
- minalecs 16y agohad no ideas they were a game company.. thought they just did picture slide shows
- harscoat 16y agoSlide illustrates "Stick to the point and say it in a single sentence. I know it sounds a little crazy, but indeed I’ve come to agree that a clear, compelling elevator pitch is essential to growing a business. (And I’ve paid dearly for the evidence.)" http://whohastimeforthis.blogspot.com/2006/01/practicing-art-of-pitchcraft.html http://whohastimeforthis.blogspot.com/2006/01/practicing-art...
- apsurd 16y agoI think a lot of products are trivial. I don't use facebook. the slide slideshow thing looks ...stupid. But then I do understand that if you plague the entire internet with your "stupid" widget, you build a broadcasting platform. Even to the extent of that article about companies monetizing internet-user browsing profiles (beacons, 3rd party tracking cookies etc). Slide can make money installing these shady cookies across all of its trillion of pages. Sure don't know the actual numbers, but being a plague on the internet does have value.
