With the vertical integration of PhotoBucket, I wonder does that make Slide a complementary asset for Fox or Y!Flickr, or a catchup asset for another Gemaya portal playa. Although there is no definition of what an apple is when it comes to widget stats, the raw numbers would make a Gen-Y acquirer go ooh + aah.

VentureBeat : "Slide is one of the best-funded photo-related Web 2.0 companies in Silicon Valley, having raised up to $28M (we haven’t confirmed exact amount) at a reported value of more than $60 million.. boasting 150 million daily slide show views and more than 200,000 new slide show “widgets” created daily."
