Real Estate Virtual Slideshows Now Possible In WordPress
March 23, 2007WordPress just announced a way to create slideshows of photos within WordPress. Per the link, you can add music and everything. Seems ideal for those like the virtual real estate tours from photos – any thoughts about the companies that have formed around making such slideshow tours if it is as easy as they make it sound.

Check it out. Thoughts?
I just tested out all of their styles and looked through their music selection. This was obviously designed for the myspace crowd. I couldn’t find one piece of music that would make a good backdrop for the sale of a home and the presentation styles themselves are way overdone. It’s great for some party photos though.
Jeff: Thanks for the test drive. Stringing together photos into a motion slideshow isn’t technically difficult to automate. I wont be surprised any more evolutions of this type of tool in the coming months.
