Slide – Social Entertainment Applications
http://www.slide.com/

Slide is the world’s largest publisher of social entertainment applications. They offer people the ability to engage and have fun with one another using the relationships they’ve already developed on social networks like Facebook and MySpace. The social networks benefit from increased activity, advertisers benefit from an exuberant audience, and their users can share favorite videos, send virtual lattes or even throw sheep at each other. At Slide, they take fun very seriously. That’s why more than 170 million people interact with their products every month. Their applications — like SuperPoke!, Top Friends and FunWall — are consistently the most popular among users, making Slide one of the largest Web properties in the world. Launched in 2005 and founded by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, Slide is backed by Mayfield Fund, Blue Run Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund.
