Hey everyone, I used slide rocket for the first time to create my sound design portfolio. I put it up on my website: http://swiftstudios.net
It uses audio, video, builds, and hyperlinks. I use to do this with Keynote, but SR is much more cross-platform friendly.

Great work Stephen, I'm talking about it in my Facebook wall (in Spanish) http://tinyurl.com/3uwmdrs. It also help me to illustrate my suggestion to SlideRocket, basically is to find a way to incorporate ZUI (zooming user interface) in the presentations: http://tinyurl.com/44y7zpx
Great way to showcase your portfolio of work and it's great to see SlideRocket being used for audio. It adds another dimension to slides. Nice job.
As you mention it, i guess your right I mistook the builds for a looping, sorry. I suppose with the layers of builds you have built in some may try and forward the slides before all of the information is presented. I ll check it out again....However, great original use of the product : )

Thanks for your ideas. I added the home button.
What do you mean by "take out the self running loop"... do you mean the builds? None of the slides should auto-advance. Do you think I should specifically have a "next" hyperlink on each of my slides?
The website's a work in progress, so this is the only page up so far.
I like the original use of this product as a landing page for your website, very nice. And, I know exactly what you mean about the cross platform usefulness of this product. I'm a keynote/Mac man myself and was carrying around a 24" iMac for demos, but as you can imagine that can be a problem as well.With no way to "faithfully" export a keynote presentation to FLASH made Slide Rocket a wish answered for myself.
I would only suggest to perhaps take out the self running loop of the presentation and strictly require the viewer to have to click in order to advance the presentation with your hyperlinks. You may also need to create some kind of HOME button on each slide in order for the viewer to reorient themselves. Also, I wasn't able to close the presentation and proceed to your website directly...assuming there is one behind the presentation. I could see a logo just out of frame on the lower right hand side of the screen just behind the presentation.
Anyway, my 2 cents
