EMERYVILLE, Calif. & SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON) February 6, 2008 --
KODAK Gallery and Slide, Inc., today announced a new service that
enables Gallery’s 60 million members to

Starting today, KODAK Gallery members will be able to transform their
Gallery photos into portable slideshows with music and share them widely

is the first phase of a deeper Slideshow product integration that will
be rolled out throughout the year.
“KODAK Gallery is committed to making it easy
for our 60 million members to share their stories anywhere, whether it’s
through photo gifts, on kodakgallery.com or on social networks,”
said Madhav Mehra, chief operating officer and vice president of product
marketing and management, KODAK Gallery. “We
partnered with Slide because they’re pioneers
in turning photos into tools for self expression and storytelling on
social networks. We’re very excited that we
can extend all the great sharing benefits of the Gallery to include this
new product.”
Here’s how the service works:
1) Go to www.slide.com/kodak to
view and choose Gallery photos
2) Personalize Slideshows with frames, backgrounds, music and other
features
