I found the coolest online tool for creating slideshows: Animoto. Actually, calling this a “slideshow” is an understatement because the software remixes your photos with your choice of tunes and very cool, Hollywood-style effects that are spectacular. Even your kid-less friends who never quite get why a baby face covered in mashed carrots is adorable, will enjoy these home videos.

Create 30-second shorts for free or if you want to go longer they are $3 each. You can also get an annual All-Access Pass — it is $30, but trust me, you will get so addicted that it will be well worth it.
