PayPal Co-Founder At Starting Blocks With New Photo-Sharing Service
PayPal Co-Founder At Starting Blocks With New Photo-Sharing Service: A new 12 person company headed by Max Levchin, former chief technology officer of PayPal called Slide is set to debut on Monday. Slide is a free service which combines social networking, photo sharing, Web syndication and e-commerce.
At the center of Slide is a downloadable desktop program that indexes all the photos on the user’s hard drive.
Levchin, who just turned 30 and has invested $1 million of his personal funds in the company, may have hit on the right way to make Slide stand out. He claims Slide’s publish and subscribe tools are easier to use than other services, which require some technical know-how and a familiarity with RSS. The general public, including people like his mom, need simpler tools, he said. Jupiter’s Gartenberg agrees.
