SlideRocket is a web application that provides everything you need to design professional quality presentations, manage and share libraries of slides and assets, and to deliver presentations in person or remotely over the web.
SlideRocket promises to be an online version of Powerpoint. The twist is, rather than go for a subset of the desktop applications features, these guys think they can go beyond them …
Unfortunately you can’t get to play with it but the demo results look stunning. (To view the demo you need to have to install the Adobe Flash Player 9 – and in order to do that you need to close Firefox.)
All these applications have the big advantage that, at least in theory, they are there on demand as and when you need them with no installation or upgrade hassles necessary. That in itself could be sufficient draw.
While big corporates might shy away from bootstrapped startups offerings, those backed by Google and Adobe are sure to get the corporate vote. For home and casual users there will be no such worries. This could be an interesting time.
So, are we going to see the end of the desktop application and if so … how soon? So SlideRocket on over.
