SlideRocket Rocks!

No more death by PowerPoint… SlideRocket is taking the presentation slideshow to a whole new level. The initial launch is a web only software as a service product with plans to have a full offline client in a year. This demo from their website and this one from Robert Scoble show SlideRocket pulling in images from Flickr, searching a quote database, displaying flash slide backgrounds, and giving the author the ability to share the slideshow with specific users and ensuring that it doesn’t fall into the hands of competitors or leak to the media. SlideRocket allows you to more quickly author and design much richer slideshows than Keynote or PowerPoint have ever imagined.

Take the time to view the demo video. Though still in private beta SlideRocket will launch to the public soon as a free or paid service.
