Having said that though - the primary reason for doing a slide-show is so *YOU* can present it to a crowd, not so you can post in on your site. Slide-shows are not meant to be stand-alone products (even though many people use them for that). If you post one on your site, be sure to surround it with descriptive text of what the viewer will find inside. Create an image of one of the screens to use as the link to launch the presentation (if possible), then you can use an alt-tag and proper link titles to get a little SEO back.....OK, I've now ranted twice about embedded media and SEO...maybe I should quit ranting and post something about how I think you should do it. BTW - Yes, Lani's tweets are funny...but wait till you get a four-part DM from her that leaves you scratching your head.

You inspired me. I have been using slide share because it works great with WordPress but the geek in me wanted to at least give SlideRocket a shot. My presentation did take quite a bit longer but the emphasis using video, effects, and sharing has taken it to a whole new level. My new concept will help reform REALTOR Association and the way they serve their members. Thank you so kindly for sharing this information in your post. Here is my slideshow I produced using SlideRocket. http://app.sliderocket.com/app/FullPlayer.aspx?id=cfcff5b3-d008-4449-8524-777eb406458a Okay Lani. You inspired me.

I much prefer a plugin like nextgen gallery where users can select either multipicture or slideshow mode. The slide show might be a little faster (maybe not) and more compact, I guess it's just personal preference. Any thoughts?

There’s a slew of impressive features I could mention: the ability to import your own fonts, the many different layouts, the special effects for objects such as videos and photos, and the asset library that can be searched by keyword, to name a few. SlideRocket also has pretty sophisticated analytics tool that let slideshow creators track who and how many people have viewed their shows, as well as how long each spent on particular slides. --------------------- geovani Overall SlideRocket is a very attractive and capable product that does indeed match and exceed the expectations set by PowerPoint.

Also have been using and recommending Scribd ( http://scribd.com ) for people that have existing presentations but are stuck with just Microsoft Office for creation.

Love your tweets btw - they're hilarious! I happen to work at SlideShare right now and I tend to agree with you- it has a great community and content. SlideRocket is more so a tool, and not a direct competitor. Cheers! Marissa Hi Lani! Love your tweets btw – they’re hilarious!

I happen to work at SlideShare right now and I tend to agree with you- it has a great community and content. SlideRocket is more so a tool, and not a direct competitor.
