SlideSix - Now With Pretty URLs

I pushed some changes last night to SlideSix.com to enable SES URL's. I used IIRF, a free URL rewriting filter for the URLs, and so far it seems to be working out pretty well. Nothing terribly interesting to most users I'd say, but I wanted to put the word out to all of my friends in case you come acrossed a glitch with the URL's. If you do, please let me know.

The cool part is that you can now share a friendly URL with everyone you know. For example, profile URL's now use the following format:

http://slidesix.com/user/{your username}

And groups:

http://slidesix.com/group/{group alias}

Presentations follow the format too:

http://slidesix.com/view/{presentation alias}

The alias is a clean version of your group or presentation name (no special chars and spaces are replaced with '-').

It looks like I missed the friendly format for playing a presentation full screen - I'll work on that.

That's about it for the changes. What else would you like to see at SlideSix?
