In web media we have been learning about flickr, how to make slides and adding sound to them.
Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. In addition to being a popular website for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.

As you upload a photo in flickr you are given the option to ‘tag’ your photograph. We have been writing webmedia09 as a tag on our photos so other students in our class can view them as they appear on the web media moodle page.
On the flickr website there is an archive consisting of blogs. These blogs are not your average as they are photographs that have been used to effectively show their audience a story rather than writing pages they have used multiple photographs. I didn’t realise blogs could be put into this format.
Flickr is a revolution in photo storage, sharing and organization, making photo management an easy, natural and collaborative process. Get comments, notes, and tags on your photos, post to any blog, share and more!

Slide.com gives you the opportunity to export your slides over the internet and you can even share them with your friends! By using your own photographs and music you can create an effective slide. I chose a range of photographs at random and placed them into a new slide document. I chose a retro styled theme and a music track from the website to accompany my slide. You can set your photographs to change either with the music or at random.

Slide, Inc., operator of the Slide.com website is a Web 2.0 company founded by Max Levchin and based in San Francisco, California. Slide.com was originally formed to make photo sharing software for social networking services such as MySpace. The company achieved its greatest success as the largest developer of third-party applications for Facebook. Slide.com begun as a project in 2004 and formed in 2005 by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, who personally invested $1 million in the new company.
Slide was one of the companies invited to participate in F8, the event at which Facebook announced an open platform allowing third parties to develop and operate their own software applications on the Facebook website.
Slide's first institutional funder was the Founders Fund, a San Francisco venture capital firm operated by former PayPal executive Peter Thiel to invest in Web 2.0 start-ups. Subsequent investors included the Mayfield Fund, Khosla Ventures, and BlueRun Ventures. In January 2008, Slide received a further $50 million in financing from undisclosed institutional investors, rumored to be Fidelity Investments and T Rowe Price. The investment was based on a $500 million valuation.
Many Slide applications were blocked in Turkey in March 2008 after a local court there ruled that Slide was not censoring user-generated content seen as derogatory to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk per Turkish law.
In 2009 the company officially changed its business model from an ad network to a sponsored content service, by which brands would pay $500,000 to $1 million each for sponsorship placement.
