SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 19, 2012) - Though it's early in 2012, the importance -- and necessity -- of visual storytelling is already one of the year's breakout trends. Social networks like Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram are forcing brands to think and act more visually. With that in mind, digital-telepathy, the company behind the original SlideDeck and the Hello Bar, is launching SlideDeck 2: a simple way for websites to showcase social and web content in a visually stunning way.
Instead of forcing users to create content from scratch or reformat what they've already shared via social media, SlideDeck 2 automatically pulls in content to show on WordPress-powered sites. It integrates with Instagram, Flickr, Vimeo, Google+, Dribbble, YouTube, Twitter and Dailymotion, Picasa and RSS feeds. Additionally, SlideDeck 2 can feature blog posts and images stored within WordPress.
"As a design company, we're focused on the beautification of the web," explained digital-telepathy's founder, Chuck Longanecker. "SlideDeck 2 is a significant step forward for content creators who want to easily add a layer of design to what they're sharing on their website and blogs."
SlideDeck 2 is a dynamic content slider that brings a new aesthetic to website design through an easy-to-use premium WordPress plug-in. Its user-friendly interface features beautiful lenses that make it incredibly simple to adjust colors and fonts and adhere to brand standards without coding. More than 3 million design combinations are possible.
Think of SlideDeck 2 as "Flipboard for the web." Just as Flipboard delivers news content in a visually appealing way, SlideDeck 2 adds a design element to presenting content on websites and blogs.
"Flipboard gave a whole new meaning to how news is displayed on tablets and phones," said Longanecker. "SlideDeck 2 aims to do the same for websites."
