[Playlist] Slidecasting multimedia format, possibly of interest

[Agentbleu]

This is interesting, I spoke to John at slideshare at the time of his  
initial launch as I had also recently launched filmator.net which  
does almost the same thing albeit our market focus is more for  
documentary style presentations, namely in the art world (but not  
restricted too). Since launching filmator.net there has been many  
such similar launches (it was floating around in the either im sure)  
and its time had come. I would say that the time invested into  
filmator.net was probably tiny by comparison to the other offerings  
as this is really a personal project (made for my girlfriend).

With regards to applying this to the xspf format into these areas,   
this is exactly the idea i had for my next project which was  
myplaylist.biz

Myplaylist.biz is a site that is focused to the music industry that  
compiles audio that is already hosted online with pictures from  
flickr into a music slideshows with your favorite bands music coupled  
with images of them from flickr

all in all i am very happy with the final result, the traffic is  
growing organically very fast as people are adding it to there  
myspace etc and other places. I guess this is more a popular usage  
for the technology.

Anyway its interesting that you also thought of xspf with regards to  
slides and i hope you like what I have done with myplaylist that  
exclusivity uses xspf for both the audio and the images.
