This slide thing is so popular these days. We have one in beta that I swear was one of the first we have ever seen. By the time we launch our new news will be old hat.
The most common name for the pop-up thingy is “lightbox” but it goes by many other names… and basically is a js used to show images in a modal window/dialog…. several purveyors of the script, most referenced is http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ — Tim

Good quote from the Jerry Kuyper blog article I posted while back addresses this sliding trend pretty well I think:
“something becomes a cliché because it works and the challenge is not to avoid clichés but to use them in a fresh way”

I actually considered light box for our portfolio at one point while working with a different design. It’s very cool.
