Mashable awards Slide.com “2006 Widget of the Year”
Mashable picked Slide.com as the editor’s choice in the Widgets and Add-Ons category. A co-worker observed:
We got Editor’s Choice in our category in a contest sponsored by Photobucket.
His point being (I think) that Photobucket re-launched their Slide Show widget this summer and Slide is still kicking ass.
I like what Mashable has to say about our category:
Slide.com and RockYou have been the most talked-about widgets this year, with Slide.com gaining a little more traction with the MySpace set. Both are impressive products which give users the freedom to express themselves. Even the launch of MySpace’s own service, MySpace slideshows, didn’t put a dent in the popularity of these two slideshow tools.
Aha! I think I understand now …. :-)

Well, technically Photobucket couldn’t win because they were the sponsor. Plus the fact that Slide and Photobucket are actually partners.
Did you guys develop MySpace’s own product? We heard stories, but we never heard it said publicly.
