bluestring - photo mashup and sharing

Here's another photo sharing web site I ran across that is in beta.  What's different about bluestring is they are also a mashup so you can upload your photos to them or simply reference your files from photobucket, picasa, webshots or AOL Pictures.  Once you have your photos linked in which is a fairly painless process you can create simple slideshows with sound.  The site is flash based and does a good job of making photo management easy with their simple user interface.   Just select photos from "My Media" and drop them on the slideshow filmbar, add some music and it will generate your slideshow you can share with others.  The slideshow gets the job done but, it's no animoto.  I'll keep an eye on this site as I think there may be some more good features coming.  They have a good start and the keeping it simple model is working for them.
