Slide.ly Is Bringing Back The Mashup With Its Social Slideshow Service

The lowly photo slideshow is not dead yet, or at least that's the hope of the team at Tel Aviv-based EasyHi, which is debuting its new product Slide.ly today, backed by $1 million in seed funding. The company aims to pick up where Slide.com (acquired by Google in 2010) left off. It's building a slideshow creation tool for the new age, using sources like Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Pickplz, and Picasa, as well as Google Images, photos from your friends or those from your computer. You then mix that content with music from SoundCloud and YouTube and add - you guessed it - Instagram-like effects. Although there's no space on Facebook to "embed" your glorious creation permanently, as Slide.com's shows were once pinned on dizzy MySpace pages, the resulting slideshows can be shared to your Facebook TimeLine or page, tweeted or emailed.
