"The kids on MySpace will kill for this.  Flektor, which a tipster told us will launch on Monday, is a tool for creating mashed up videos, photobooks, animations and basically anything media-related in Flash, then post that creation to MySpace, hi5, Piczo, Stickam et al.  The site was created by Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin, co-founders of game developer Naughty Dog (Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter).\nThey're coming out of the gate running, with an extremely advanced Flash tool that lets users import content from sites like Photobucket and Flickr, and build a slideshow, video, or whatever you like, using the timeline to insert transitions.  These can all be shared, rated and commented on in the \"Watch\" section.\nI'm not crazy about the overuse of Flash, but I think in this instance it's ok: Flash is fine for generator-type applications, and the rest of the site isn't using it to such a degree.  It's clear that these guys want to hit the MySpace market hard, and I've no doubt that RockYou and Slide.com will be calling them up pretty soon, if they haven't already.  Bound to be popular, provided they avoid the dreaded MySpace Block (TM).\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
