widgets SLIDEROLL.COM

I am always on the lookout for new widgets that I can offer to clients as a cost effective way of adding interactive elements that might otherwise be too expensive. These widgets always have some kind of downside, but to many clients the cost saving might outweigh the price of going 100% custom.

There are a lot of free slideshow applications available, but so far slideroll.com is the one that I am going to experiment implementing on my own website. The free version is limited to 10 slideshows, 100 images and you can't download your slideshow, if this is a deal breaker, go for the paid version.

I'll update you when I finish my experiment!

PROS:
+ free
+ slideshow design is simple and modern
+ up to 10 slideshows per user, 100 images per slideshow

CONS:
+ maximum size is 360x240
+ link to company on slideshow (but quite subtle)
+ not as easy to use as some drag and drop or import applications
