What's the next big thing in Presentation 2.0? Google and ZOHO are the frontrunners in the race for on-demand presentation solutions—until now. Enter SlideRocket, this early stage start-up has a promising application that will give these two heavyweights a run for their money in the web-ware space. Can SlideRocket beat out the reigning champions in the client-side desktop space: PowerPoint and Keynote?  I'm very excited to see how SlideRocket will change the way people communicate.

SlideRocket is a rich internet application built on Adobe's Flex platform. It has a sexy interface with many of the bells and whistles that you would expect from a desktop application like PowerPoint and Keynote. SlideRocket is in its Beta Release with no initial public release date, so we'll just have to wait and see if it measures up to expectations.

SlideRocket Claims:

"SlideRocket is a rich internet application that provides for every part of the presentation lifecycle. It integrates authoring, asset management, delivery and analytics tools into a single hosted environment that allows you to quickly create stunning presentations, intelligently manage your assets, securely share your slides, and measure the results.

SlideRocket differentiates itself from other presentation products by being Web-based, feature-rich, easy-to-use, secure, and complete. SlideRocket is also unique in that it includes a community marketplace where content and services can be shared and transacted.

SlideRocket is the first online productivity application that embraces business level features such as collaboration, robust security, dynamic data binding and business integration with applications like Salesforce.com. SlideRocket also embraces the best of the Internet with features like asset tagging, web content mashups, embedded data services and seamless rich media support."

You can take a look at SlideRocket's CEO, Mitch Crasso, demo of the application at the Under The Radar conference:

My first impression is that SlideRocket will make a significant impact on the industry. It's not a matter if people will adopt this technology, but when. Can Microsoft and Apple keep up with the new age of authoring and distribution solutions? We'll just have to wait and see...
