(Part 1 of 2). If you would like to learn how you can upload your JPEGs to produce a Web-accessible slide show, this interview is for you.
Our guest today is Keith Rabois who is a Vice President for Strategy with Slide.com. His company not only permits you to make Web-accessible slide shows, the process generates a url that enables you to insert hyperlinks to the slide shows within the text of your own blog or emails.
When I interviewed Lance Podell, the CEO of Seevast Corporation, last month (June 11th) he made a PowerPoint presentation about his company’s online advertising capabilities. As usual, I employed WebEx, to enable him to present the PowerPoint on my computer, together with screen capture software to record everything. That way subscribers like you can watch the presentation and hear the voice-over of Lance’s narrative together with my occasional questions in realtime.
However, I later discovered a website, Slide.com, that enables me to upload JPEGs of each slide and thereby create a web-accessible slide show that can be viewed in a fraction of the time. In point of fact, it can even be viewed at the pace determined by the user as (s)he clicks the on-screen advance button. Finally, Slide.com gives me a url that permits me to embed a hyperlink to the slide show directly with the text of my blog. For example, you can see it (the prior Seevast presentation) by clicking here.
Basically, Slide.com does for slide shows what YouTube does for videos.
Length: This video interview is about 9 minutes long.
