Bill Gates made it such that there are at least three ways to accomplish a task in Windows. Alternatives are a good thing because we will eventually find one that we'll naturally gravitate toward. So it should be with applications.
Not long ago I mad a post about a very cool online application called Animoto. It allows for the uploading of your pics, the addition of music, and ultimately, the automation of a "digital story" of sorts. Animoto mixes the music and creates anomations, effects, and transitions for you. Don't like the results? Click on "remix" and see the results. Post the output to Facebook or other social networking sites.
Here's an alternate service: http://www.slide.com. It does much the same as Animoto, with a few added features. One of the most notable differences? A MUCH larger music library from which to select is what immediately stands out. It's just as easy to use as Animoto. Give Slide a whirl! You'll like what you see!
I am using Stupeflix since a couple of weeks as an alternative to Animoto or Windows Movie Maker. Works great. You can make videos like these:

have you ever seen better slideshows?! I bute not. And the service is free. You also don't have to download a software.
Thank you anonymous. I'll try the stupeflix. I created mine using animoto http://www.astutelocalwebmarketing.com.au/ but they're just too steep if you ask me at $250 for one year.
