<p>In case you are thinking of buying one of these think again. First of all its only available in selected countries and for commercial purchase only.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="206" height="40" border="0" align="right" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/logo.png" alt="SlideRocket" /><a href="http://sliderocket.com" target="_blank">Sliderocket</a> is one of the very few paid online presentation applications.  The application was launched in the last quarter of 2008 and has been seeing a  steady growth since then. &nbsp;</p>
<p>  As <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/sliderocket/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sliderocket">Sliderocket</a> is built on Adobe&rsquo;s Flex technology, it offers  many features which help you add animation, effects, transitions, etc.. to the  presentation to make it look better.</p>
<p>  The best way to explore the features of the application is  to use it. I put together 5-6 quick slides about <a href="http://tnerd.com" target="_blank">Technology Nerd</a> to see how it  really works (use the full screen feature for a better view of the presentation).</p>
<p><span id="more-2910"></span></p>
<p align="center"><embed width="400" height="300" src="http://data.sliderocket.com/SlideRocketPlayer.swf" flashvars="id=5C75F535-7E72-F946-8DF7-A1670DFB179A" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></p>
<p>Once the presentation is created it can be publish it to the  web, invite viewers by sending emails or send invitations to attend a meeting.</p>
<p>  The meeting view shows the list of attendees who are viewing  the presentation with you. The owner of the presentation can also view the  stats to see the number of views, etc.. </p>
<p>  The presentation can be saved on the computer in PPT format  using the export feature, however, I found the animation and effects lose the  formatting completely. This is where <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/sliderocket/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sliderocket">Sliderocket</a>&rsquo;s offline player comes in  handy.</p>
<p align="center"><img width="500" height="346" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/player.png" alt="SlideRocket Player" /></p>
<p>  Using the offline player, presentations online can be cached  on the local computer to be played later. </p>
<p>  All the features I discussed so far are the features I  expect any <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/online-presentation-application/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Online Presentation Application">online presentation application</a> to offer. </p>
<p>  What puts <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/sliderocket/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sliderocket">SlideRocket</a> ahead of its competition is its  approach to the application. <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/sliderocket/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sliderocket">SlideRocket</a> partners with other agencies and  content providers to deliver a complete product. </p>
<p>  Features like adding images from Flickr or buy graphics from  Fotolia, PresentationPro, Andertoons, etc.., hiring a professional designer to  work on the presentation or simply ordering a print of the presentation is just  clicks away. </p>
<p align="center"><img width="500" height="179" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/flickr.png" alt="flickr.png" /></p>
<p>  Users need to buy credits from <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/sliderocket/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sliderocket">Sliderocket</a> before they buy  pictures, hire a designer or order prints of their presentations. </p>
<p align="center"><img width="316" height="376" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/marketplace.png" alt="marketplace.png" />&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can use the service for free on trail basis for a month after which they can upgrade to an Individual plan starting at $10 a month or $20 a month/user for a business account. Click<a href="http://sliderocket.com" target="_blank"> here</a> to register.</p>
