Slingshot Labs founders start fresh with BeachMint and new $5M Barely two months after leaving Slingshot Labs, News Corp’s incubator, the two men formerly running the show, Diego Berdakin and MySpace co-founder Josh Berman, have launched a shiny new venture: a social commerce site called BeachMint. Despite bare-bones information on what the Santa Monica, Calif. company will actually be doing, it just managed to raise $5 million from New Enterprise Associates and Anthem Venture Partners. According to the two well-known co-founders, BeachMint’s mission is to build an end-to-end e-commerce experience across multiple verticals. Each category would have its own recommendation engine, social media tie-ins to allow for sharing and viral marketing, and channels for big-time influencers like celebrities to air their opinions. Berman has said publicly that product recommendations will be generated authentically — leading us to believe that they may be linked to preferences of your “friends” online. Berman isn’t the only MySpace alum with funding news today.

You asked ... so here it is A while ago, I brought you a crazy special on SlideDeck 2 for WordPress. You all loved it, but ... you begged for the Developer’s license, not just the Personal license. Well, I won’t lie, it took me a couple months of hard work and constantly bothering the guys over at SlideDeck, but I’m extremely happy to say, I got what you guys wanted so bad :-) SlideDeck 2 is a killer WordPress plug-in that’ll put a stunning content slider on your WordPress site without having to code anything.
