Update: Photovine has been released to general public today

Slide, a Google company has quietly launched a new photo sharing service called Photovine. The service is shown on its Web site as well as an app in Apple App store. However users need to request an invite to participate, below is the reply from the team:

Thanks for your interest in Photovine!/ We’ve received your email and added it to our wait list. We’ll be slowly rolling-out invites starting later this month. We’re very excited about Photovine and can’t wait for you to join us!

Thanks again for signing up and for your patience while we distribute invites.
