For those of us who have been waiting for a fully functional Web 2.0 slide show software, there is SlideRocket.  In the few days since I got my invitation, I’ve been happily trying it out.  SlideRocket combines some of the cool features found in Keynote and PowerPoint with lots of Web 2.0 goodness.  You can create presentations in SlideRocket and export them to Powerpoint, or import your existing Powerpoint presentations into SlideRocket.  In addition to text, charts and tables, you can easily search for and insert images, video and sound.  Build your slides with custom effects and animations.  Choose slide transitions reminiscent of Keynote  (oh, the beautiful Rubiks-cube transition). Invite others to view, edit, co-create, or embed your presentation.  Play your slideshow on the web in full-screen mode, or download a bit of software to show your slides offline.

Take a tour of SlideRocket to see all these features in action.
