The distribution partnership includes CBS Corp's CBS Interactive, Comcast Corp's E! Entertainment channel, Time Warner Inc's Warner Brothers as well as News Corp and NBC Universal's jointly-owned video site Hulu, among other companies.

San Francisco-based Slide, founded in 2005 by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, said it intends to roll out the service on other social networks over the next year.

"Media companies create and deliver entertainment, social networks connect people, and Slide is the conduit between the two; that's social entertainment," Keith Rabois, vice president of strategy and business development said.

Slide made some of the hottest programmes running on Facebook and News Corp's MySpace, including media-sharing applications Slide Shows, Top Friends, SuperPoke! and FunWall.

Slide says that FunSpace is the most popular third-party application on Facebook with 20 million active users monthly.
