Sliderocket

Sliderocket- I had no prior experience with this tool.  The presume video was visually stunning.  I was very excited to try this out, but the user experience was not what I would call friendly.  The website would constantly freeze as I made changes to my presentation.  Oftentimes I had to close the browser and start it up again.  I was disappointed that there was not an option to mute the background music when a video was playing.  Also, the only way to adjust what portion of the music played required a paid subscription.  Most web2.0 tools are constantly evolving and I anticipate this will as well.  Unless those little quirks are fixed I don't think I will use sliderocket either professionally or personally.  There are too many other slideshow tools including voicethread and slideshare with a more user friendly experience.
