BP5_2010042_Web2.0Tools



Photo Peach (photopeach.com) is a free web 2.0 tool that allows one to create a slideshow with up to 30 photos. These photos can be uploaded from the computer or imported into the software from any site on the web, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or a website. The creator can pick the transactions, the music and pictures to be used. The picture arrangement can also be changed for style and look.



Photo Peach offers free music of any style to enhance the show. There is soft jazz, classical, ethnic, and many others to choose from.  The pictures can be seen in a regular linear format, one after another, or in a spiral format that climbs upward in a slow spiral motion. It is a nice effect that allows the viewer to see each photo for a longer period of time.

Peach Photo is easy to learn and use. If the user would like to download the slideshow for DVD burning, there is a charge of two dollars. To have unlimited usage like adding more than 30 photos to each slideshow, the user can join Photo Peach for three dollars a month.

Under the heading of Explore, there are several slideshows by other users available for viewing. Some of these are funny while others would only make sense to family and friends. If the user would like to make their slideshow public, all it takes is a check in the appropriate box.

Personally, I had fun playing with my photos from Facebook. Changing the effects between the pictures and adding different styles of music to the same slideshow really made a huge difference in how I reacted to it. I recommend anyone to give it a try.
