That’s a lot of hard work for one developer, done a very good job. Thanks for the link.

In comparision to other slideshow applications, I found this one to be less than innovative. I think Zoho and ScrapBlog are better flash-based portfolio slideshow tools.

[...] 13 comments » We’ve talked about a lot of online presentation applications, both formal (Zoho, Google, Empressr, Thumbstacks, Preezo, Slideshare) and informal (RockYou, Filmloop, Scrapblog, Bubbleshare). Formatpixel is a flash-based crossover between the two, meant to design portfolio or brochure presentations that look more like fashion magazines than PowerPoint presentations. You can see an example I embedded below, a photo portfolio here, and one with an embedded video here. Note the cool page flip animation.Formatpixel uses a WYSIWYG layout editor to publish presentations in a virtual magazine format. The editor lets you drop in uploaded photos, text, and shapes onto virtual book pages. Each of the items you place on a page can be hyperlinked, scaled, blured, colored, and blended. The page glossiness, color, and background color can also be changed. The feature list for each of these objects is fairly lengthy. [...]

@John – yuck, comment spam!

Re: formatPixel…very sexy but there are so many flash galleries out there that don’t take much work to set up. Agree with others…this service needs to do something to make it more desirable, or get cheaper…

I opened one presentation. Doesn’t show an option of a slideshow? Is that true? Too bad.

Neat, now they need to release an API to integrate the tool into other sites and offer print functionality on top for the ‘finished’ products.

A nifty flash app, but I don’t think anyone is going to pay $60/year or so to create a slideshow.

Good job Mike, err, Nick;

That site is pretty nifty, but I’m not sure how big of a market it will serve.

Pretty cool, unfortunately I work in a decidedly unsexy profession. Oh well.

the images in that sample are of high quality

all these new and upcoming photo sites are essentially the same – just each site adds their own visual theme concept, flash-based for the most part.

i see nothing really new, or compelling enough for any of these sites to make a sizable impact
