Social Media integration right within your LMS - what a novel concept. In building iPresent Online, one of our goals was to integrate easily with the various 3rd party social media sites that have become so popular around the web these days.

iPresent Online supports user registration and authentication via Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, Google, and Yahoo.

We've continue to update iPresentOnline. In this latest round of improvments, we focused on allowing more flexibility in your site's navigation and design. Updates include:
- Complete control over your Site's Main Tabs - create heirarchical menus/submenus with links to existing site pages or exeternal URLs
- Ability to set your site's "Start Page". By default, iPresentOnline provides a "Timeline" start page when you visitors first come to your site. You may now specify any page you'd like as the first page visitors are greeted with.
- Pages - A major addition is the ability to create Site, Group, or Member pages. Pages can include text, images, attachments, videos, links, etc.

Over the past several weeks we've made quite a few updates to the site. Here's a summary of changes:
- Video presentations (FLV, MP4, M4V uploads) are now streamed via Amazon's Cloudfront CDN. This will improve playback performance and will allow viewers to quickly and easily seek to various points in a video.
- Added support for embedded MP3 presentations. Uploading an MP3 when creating a presentation will now display an embedded media player.
- Improved Presentation file uploads. The site can better handle larger and more simultaneous Presentation file uploads. Also, added a progress bar for large file uploads.
- Improved site search - added searching for Blog Posts and Wiki Pages
- Improved Presentation processing and viewing experience. All document based presentations (PPT, PPTX, PDF) are now converted to images to allow viewing by anyone with a browser. Each presentation is embedded on its own page, along with our slideshow player and comments.
- Fixed some minor issues...
