Slideshare just announced the ability to import Google Docs directly into their service.
I tried it out and it works pretty nicely.
My prediction for the day is that Google will purchase Slideshare.
The two sites are a natural fit. The Google Presentation tool in Google docs never really took off. The tool is okay, but what is lacking is a community around the the presentations.
Slideshare has a vibrant community. It has established itself as the destination for presentations. A Google Slideshare makes sense, as the service could take advantage of Google's technical expertise and scale.
The big thing that is missing from either Slideshare or Google Presentations is the easy ability to do voice-over presentations. This capability should be fairly easy to implement, particularly given Google's experience with YouTube in allows webcam/audio capture and upload in the browser. A dead simple voice-over recording and sharing tool for online presentations would dramatically expand the utility of the service.
Easily allowing the presentations to be published on Google Slideshare or YouTube would provide a superb platform for sharing the material.
You can do slide presentation with voice with slideshare, but not with Google Docs
