It is a free tool and you have to download a small application for your desktop. From there, you can drag and drop images, record your presentation, and upload it to the Slidestory host.

Slidesix is another multimedia presentation sharing site, however, they allow you to upload a presentation and record audio, video or embed it directly from their web app. It is a free app and I found that it was quick to load and use. The management console kept things organized and their SlideLabs section had a presentation analytics component.

Some of these services are simply meant to be experienced or seen. Freepath is a playlist application that helps you mix and play your rich media assets such as video, photos and music together with your traditional desktop files like PowerPoint, PDFs and Word without having to convert files, embed links or import files.
