Animoto.com: advertises itself as the "end of slideshows". Family Circle (January 2010) reports this: "Upload your favorite photos or video clips, pick a song and Animoto will produce a professional-quality movie that can be downloaded or shared on blogs, YouTube, Twitter, social networks and media devices." Wow- the only thing it doesn't do is the dishes. 30-second videos are free; full-length ones are $3 and an annual subscription is just $30.
