Online Presentations

I just finished creating an online presentation on how advertising effects youth. I used Sliderocket to create my presentation and with that I was able to include pictures, embed videos, and include an audio file. All in all creating the presentation was quite easy. I'm comfortable using Power Point and I found that slide rocket operated the same way making it quite easy to navigate without even looking at the tutorial or needing help.
Heres a link to my presentation if you wanna check it out:

After I completed the whole process I realize how useful online presentations are for something like group projects or as a student, even for companies and business presentations. They have the benefit of being online, so as long as there is access to the internet all the material is stored online and accessible anywhere. This is also beneficial for group projects because more than one person can access and edit a presentation without the need having to meet face to face with the group.

I did run into a few snags with adding sound to my presentation. There wasn't any detailed directions about the type of sound file that could be  uploaded and I did't know anything about recorded sound when I started out. It took me quite along time to figure out that all my recordings wouldn't work because they were not mp3 files and the help information on SlideRocket was no assistance with this issue. That would be my only complaint.
