animoto

Like most first-time parents out there, we have documented nearly every stage of our little guy’s 9-months. By this point I am sure we have bored all of our family and friends with the endless stream of e-mails announcing a new album on our photo sharing site. Today I came across Animoto (http://www.animoto.com), a fantastic site that allows you to create free (yes, FREE!) 30-second video montages, complete with music, from your favorite pics. The process is as simple as uploading your photos and choosing your music (from either your own personal collections or their library of 100’s of songs). Animoto then works their magic in putting the video together and sends the link to your personal email. The video can be shared via email or posted on Facebook. At least now our family members and friends will be bombarded with actual videos, as opposed to just our static photos.

That's a neat site. Have you checked out thisMoment.com?! It's free too and you can create moments with video, photos and words. The best thing is that it is easy and you can pull media from the other online services you may already use (e.g. Flickr, Facebook, YouTube). And as a blogger, you can embed a moment you've created into your blog post. It's a fun and compelling way to tell a story. Please check it out! They are having a Summer Moments contest where you can win a Flip Mino HD - something to tell your readers about!
