| SLIDEBOMB |
I have selected SlideBomb. The website enables users to create what are called “SlideBombs.” These are essentially slide shows focused on a topic or topics. The user can add many types of media, including Google Maps, images, YouTube videos, links and text. SlideBombs can be created in a number of ways, with some providing step-by-step guides to complete a task or educate the viewer on a topic while others provide opinions, stories or events. SlideBomb was created to give users a way to create the ultimate mashup slideshow. In Web development, a mashup is a Web page or application that uses and combines data, presentation or functionality from two or more sources to create new services. The term implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs and data sources to produce enriched results that were not necessarily the original reason for producing the raw source data.
The SlideBomb is compatible with a number of different types of media. Users can add videos, text content, images or maps to provide deeper meaning or more detailed instruction to their SlideBomb slideshow. SlideBomb offers a fun, entertaining tool that enables users to create a slideshow on anything they like. The application makes it easy to build a functional slide show that features various media such as images, videos, text and links. Although the application is flexible and useful, it does not offer anything that would justify a subscription fee or other cost. The application can be used to create an instructional slideshow or one intended purely for entertainment.
