I don’t know where you get the number 12 from, I can see only 9 themes, one of them is “white” and one is “black”, which leaves us with 7 themes. As cool as the website is, I think much more themes are needed.

Well, At least one can use it to embed YouTube in PowerPoint easily!

A fellow romanian and a MakeUseOf reader! I agree, we, non-ASCII fans are stuck with PowerPoint.

Until these alternative slide-makers adapt to non-ASCII characters, they are only useful to English-speaking users. Noi, romÃ¢nii, care avem de fÄƒcut proiecte cu diacritice, care oricÃ¢t am vrea sÄƒ ne impresionÄƒm profesorii cu steluÅ£e ÅŸi rachetuÅ£e ÅŸi efecte speciale de tot soiul, suntem totuÅŸi forÅ£aÅ£i sÄƒ rÄƒmÃ¢nem la MSPowerpoint.

It’s the same problem with SlideRocket.

You could try Mozilla Prism to achieve almost the same effect as a local application.

It seems 280slides comes upon some issue with the alpha 64bit version of flash – you get a complete system freeze. Nonetheless I tried it on a 32bit laptop, and it was nice.

One thing I would ask for is an AIR app though so I don’t have to start a browser to run it.

A slight nuance to the ending paragraph was spotted by a watchful reader. SlideRocket does have a free version which includes all the basic functionality.
