Tool of the Week | SlideRocket

This week, we're sharing how SlideRocket helped us display our presentation online and how it could change how you present Powerpoints. Check out our growing list of tech tool reviews and Mike Mann's Web Development Best Practices for more insight.

What kind of tool is SlideRocket? SlideRocket is Microsoft Powerpoint meets Google Documents and Analytics. Helping you create and share smarter presentations, the tool prepares them for the social web.

How do we use SlideRocket?

We first discovered SlideRocket while looking for a way to embed an interactive, clickable guide for new members on our site. We found only presentation sharing tools that supported view-only capability. SlideRocket was able to share our presentation as we intended it to be used--members can click on each slide and be redirected to an external link or another slide.Our new member guide is now sent to approved nonprofit members to help them navigate services within the Toolbox.

How should my nonprofit use SlideRocket?
With SlideRocket any member of your team can collaborate on a presentation. You can add vivid graphics and visuals, import and recreate old Powerpoint files and even host HD web meetings. The service goes full circle by offering statistics for your online presentations so you can gauge visitor interest and measure your impact.

How do I signup?

All new users receive a free trial of the fully featured service after signing up. After the trial period, you can continue to pay for the edition that best suits your organization or revert to a free account with reduced capabilities.
