Tycoons Row

Previously, you had a demo from CEO, Carlos Garcia with Scrapblog. Today, Scrapblog relaunches its digital scrapbook maker & it is definitely impressive. Scrapblog went through a re-launch a week ago after going off line for some creative & competitive updates to its service.
Using a Flash interface, you can create a slide show with your pictures. That’s not all, you can add music, create additional graphics & imagery to your photos to make an effective photo-book presentation. Scrapblog is Flickr with photo-media attitude.

Also, with the new scrapblog, you can embed your photo-show to other websites making your creations mobile on the web. The embed function allows for public or private showing.

You can either build your scrapblog from scratch with a blank page or 1 of 19 background themes along with 1 of 3 layouts which offers a variety. Scrapblog also tracks how many times there user-friendly themes have been used so it kind of gives you a will to be more creative if you don’t want to use a theme that’s been used hundreds of times. Hopefully, they will continually to upgrade with additional themes. I think that will add some flavor to Scrapblog.

With your custom theme or a Scrapblog theme in place, you can add photos, stickers, background, text, buttons, shapes, video & frames to your digital scrapbook. Having the creative eye here is where all the magic happens. Additionally, you are able to add transition effects, duplications & set your music here all in one place.

You can also outsource media from Photobucket, Webshots, & Flickr & even Yahoo photos. The service is very easy to use, especially after your creations are made. After you create, you are easily able to embed your show on a webpage or blog, as it automatically generates the code for you.

This South Florida start-up is competing with other social-photo sites, such as Slide, Rock You & BubbleShare which are all based out west. I think that if Scrapbook connects with other social networks quickly, such as MyYearbook and target community social niches such as these along with the sleek & rich presentations that can be created through Scrapbook, users will adopt quickly as the next new thing in photo-sharing.
