Vibing w/ Sliderocket for presentations

Sliderocket is a service that I recently learned about through the FastcompanyTV stuff Robert Scoble is doing. He interviewed the founder of Sliderocket recently and I instantly was intrigued by the product. Since speaking is something I’ve been doing quite a bit of lately, having something that is entirely browser based and so much like Apple’s Keynote really got me excited. There are a ton of features under the hood that I don’t have time to go into but I ended up getting a private beta invite from their VP of Marketing (through Twitter no less) and I’ve been using the hell out of it.

Is it still buggy?

Hell yes, sometimes doesn’t do exactly what I want but it is close.

What do I like most about the product?

The response from the developers. I’ve submitted a handful of bug reports on things and get fairly prompt emails back from their team stating the issue and how they’ll go on to fix them. Kudos to their team.

So I decided do to a little promo slideshow for Banktastic as a teaser to our service. Another cool feature? Embeddable slideshows, see below.

Keep up the good work Sliderocket and you are more than likely going to have a customer once you come out of beta.

    Pretty cool stuff! What software to you use for the screen capture/video and/or the audio recording?

    Hi Brad,

    Nice presentation! If it’s ok with you we’d like to feature this on the example presentations section of the new site we’re building, available in July. Let me know if this would be ok with you. Thanks for blogging about us.

    @Robbie - Remember I’m all Mac type of guy. For screen capture I used IShowU for screen capture and then had to convert it from SWF to FLV through VisualHub. The audio was a single track just recorded through GarageBand.

    @Nat - Absolutely, it would be a pleasure. Keep up the good work and kudos to you guys for keeping up with what us bloggers are saying, both good and bad, about you. Very smart!
