It's funny: on one hand Slide seems such a feeble business proposition compared to the mighty PayPal, but on the other hand photo sharing has been the very thing that's fuelled so much consumer activity over the last decade (Facebook, MySpace, camera phones, memes...). What's the word on Slide's arch rival, RockYou or whatever it's called - valued higher than Slide?
There was another idea that came out of the Maxcubator at the same time as Slide, can't remember what it was (i read it in The Facebook Story) may have involved Peter Theil, it seemed like the best idea but Levchin passed it up for The Slide concept.
rockyou is doing quite well- def bigger then Slide. They just signed a 5 yr deal with facebook for using fb credits in all social games http://tcrn.ch/adWPTK
