Dave's Favorites: Share Your Photos With Slide

Every day, it seems, I see a new photo sharing service. One that's distinctly different--and quite cool--is Slide. Launched recently, the free service lets you display your photos in a rolling filmstrip that scrolls slowly down the side of your computer screen. The pictures are small and unobtrusive. But if you hover over an image, the filmstrip pauses and the selected image appears in a larger window for closer inspection. From there, you can instantly share the picture with anyone via e-mail.

Slide allows you to organize your photos into "channels" and choose which channels to show on your desktop. You can also share channels with the world at large and subscribe to other people's channels as well. Some Web sites have already created their own channels. You can subscribe to Gizmodo.com's parade of gadget-related photos, for instance, or see your fill of Dilbert cartoons; go to Slide's Channel Guide to browse the selection.
