Web-based Presentation Application

How has this web 2.0 application flown under our radar for so long?? Two of the web-based presentation tools (Zoho Show, Slideshare.net) have shared the spotlight. The primary element that is missing from those two applications (at least they were missing when I last tried them) was slide animations.

Anyone who has incorporated presentation projects into their classroom knows how students use slide animations. (OK, so OVERUSE is probably a better term.) They are disappointed when the animations don't work in the online versions mentioned above.

Spresent.com is a web-based flash application that allows users to build presentations online. The presentations can incorporate pictures from Flickr or Bubbleshare, movies from YouTube, Vimeo, and much more.

I don't see a way to import an existing PowerPoint but I'm sure that's on the radar.
