tumblecloud Unveils a Collaborative Take on Slideshows by Anthony Ha on TechCrunch

The collaboration can happen between individuals, where users work together on a single cloud, or share media with one another (one of the most striking clouds created during the private test period mixes photos of the Occupy movement taken by Jessica Lehrman and music by Gabriel Quin, who live on opposite sides of the United States). It’s also happening on a community level, because tumblecloud offers a library of Creative Commons-licensed media, which Andreas is hoping users will contribute to.

tumblecloud Is a Drag-and-Drop, Collaborative Multimedia Slideshow Tool by Melanie Pinola on lifehacker

The built-in video editor lets you quickly create a video using actual videos or images, add music, insert notes and website screengrabs, and more. There's a library of media you can add to get started (or you can upload your own), and others can also contribute to your shared projects, making tumblecloud possibly a great tool for sharing creative work with clients or with a group of creative friends.

Part social network and part community blog, tumblecloud has features that let others contribute to your creative works as well. Like social sites and blogs, you can follow other users to keep an eye on new projects as they share them.

winner of Professional Photographer Magazine's "Hot Ones" award.

We hate to brag, but when your hotness factor ends up in print, you automatically get boasting rights. At least for the length of a blog post.

Seriously, though...

We are very pleased to announce that tumblecloud is the recipient of the Professional Photographer Magazine's 2012 "Hot Ones" award for the Online Album Design and Hosting category. 

We were chosen by professionals, y'all. We're pretty chuffed.
