SlideRocket: Design Quality Presentations Online

A lot of us use presentations made from either PowerPoint, Google Docs, or other applications. Most of these apps work fine but I think you'll be interested in this next one.

SlideRocket is a web application that lets you design and manage your presentations, as well as allowing you to share libraries of slides and assets.

Let's take a closer look at SlideRocket.

The interface has that "web app" look but that's a good thing. The layout is well-organized with the various tools easily accessible.

The integrated library provides access to all your presentations, slides, assets, including shared objects from people in your group or company. There's also a community resource available for those looking for more materials.

You can import your own images, flash movies, and even your own videos. You can also search through the community's clipart or import images and videos from Flickr and YouTube.

You have access to a number of effects and transitions including drop shadows, glow, reflection, 3D rotation, etc. Animations include motion blur fly-in, decoder, sparkle, flash, materialize, cube rotate, reflection, swap, and flip.

Need to add some tables and charts? No problem. SlideRocket comes with shapes and drawing tools for annotations and diagrams, as well as customizable tables and charts.

If you need to share your presentation, you can send a URL or embed it in your site. If your presentation is confidential, you can send invitations to specific people. SlideRocket has an integrated remote meeting function that lets you invite a number of people to view your presentation while you control it.

Stats junkies will be happy to know that they can view statistics about their shared presentations like how long people spent on different slides, and who viewed it.

SlideRocket is still in beta but you can head over to the site right now and sign up for the beta.
