Very nice! I just tried it out – works nice and smooth, just like the other Google docs. I even did a brief share option, and there really is a chat window there! Interesting online presentation sharing tool.

Something that I wish Google, Zoho, etc would take in to consideration would be the presentation embed code that SlideShare provides. I like the ability to be able to insert the presentation into a class web page – not just link to the presentation. I guess there is always iframe :)

The one feature I would really like to see is the audio synchronization tool that SlideShare has – it lets you set up a slide show that is synced to an audio file. Since Google bought YouTube – what are the chances they would also buy SlideShare, and then link that to their presentations? (*drools*)

Teriffic! I used Google Docs extensively in my classes this past quarter to share essays with my classmates for feedback. More than once I regretted not being able to do the same with Power Point presentation assignments.
