#22: Guy says “this is the coolest thing since the Macintosh”

November 14, 2005 By

Guy Kawasaki (the former Macintosh evangelist) is sending around emails saying that FilmLoop is the coolest thing he’s seen since the Macintosh.

 Yes, Chris, you beat us to blogging about this.

Update: if Guy really did say that, then he’s pimping out his brand. I just downloaded and tried it out. There are quite a few things that are cooler than this. A new HDTV is 100 times cooler, for instance.

    re: Slide’s model is really simple: you can choose to subscribe to Slide Shows with photos of products you can buy. If you do, we get a referral bonus. Back to work

    Thanks for the clarification. All I can say is, “Wow, that’s a heckuva business model.” This means that I could theoretically create hundreds of trays, never subscribe to ones of affiliate products, and you keep paying for bandwidth and storage?

    Your VC is okay with this? :-) Sounds almost too good to be true. Maybe the big picture is to get a lot of eyeballs and sell…

    Back to sightseeing…

    Cool! We get to see a death match between Slide and Filmloop on Scobleizer!

    I used Slide when it came out, and met someone from Filmloop. I think it’s interesting that two companies launched with similar ideas, and, from what I have heard, quite similar business models.

    But, hey, for someone that worked and works in the photo industry, this is just fun to watch.
