Animoto: Mini Video Maker

Animoto is a very interesting, hmm, web toy. I'm not sure if it has any application beyond its ability to produce entertaining short (30 second) slide shows. But, it does it very well. The free service seems optimized for 30 second slide shows made of 15 photos (more is ok but it gives you a warning). Click on the test video I created to see what it did with some of my Flickr photos (it imported them automatically with my permission) and some canned music it provided me (you can also upload your own). Try it for yourself. You'll probably find it as entertaining as I did. Be patient though. The rending process takes a bit of time.
