Leafletter - convert art into flash leaf

Leafletter, which launched last week, is a small but smart app that can generate a quick flash-based mashup of your images and text which you can than embed on your site or blog. Instead of offering a regular text+image editor, Leafletter has a unique layout tool where the presentation space is built with blocks that can be arranged into 36 different configurations. As you keep moving the block slider, Leafletter shows you the different configurations possible. Add text and images on multiple pages using the in-page upload tool and you are ready to show your artwork. To make your work a bit easier Leafletter allows you pull images from your Flickr account.

In concept, Leafletter looks familiar to slideshow widgets from Slide.com or Rockyou or even some of the widgets from Flickr. But the possibility to add text does give you a added reason to go for Leafletter. Still I feel that Leafletter has to come up with a broader range of configurations and define its target market clearly to gain ground from existing players.

Nanolearning, about which I had written few months back, is another startup that offers similar solution for text+images but has stayed away from world of widgets.
