Load the decks and live stream and record the video: Basic screen: [ | ] [-video- | -deck-] [ event_timeline ] Allow the presenter to move through the deck on the service so there is a timeline of events of video and deck traversal. Then reviewer can highlight key moments on the timeline with notes that are part of an overall critique. User presentation is the base. Deck critique comes at a premium. --Edit-- HN didn't like my formatted 'mock' screen.

Indeed, thinking client side, split screen for uploading video and deck with a notes/goal box underneath (things like Target audience, group demographics, expected venue). On the backside have a review interface with video front and sent and controls underneath, like "Add Note" which pauses the video and enters the time stamp and note into a formatted list, once review is marked completed it transfers that list into the feedback part which also has a notes section for things like body language and such. Once complete email the user with a link to the review page that has the video and the timeline underneath, make the timeline clickable so the user can jump straight to each note and either accept or decline the review (that way you have a metric of what criticism people respond to positively and negatively). Handling the deck is more of an issue, powerpoint isn't a problem but you will get all sorts of whacky formats (people using Beamer, javascript based stuff), You can generally get those out in PDF format in one form or another though so maybe accept PDF and Powerpoint (or in the case of the javascript based ones perhaps a zip file for techie audience). I wonder what you could charge that out at, reviewing a 45 minute talk and slides properly would probably take an hour/hour and half and also what kind of turn around people would want (possibly with increased pricing for a faster turn around). EDIT: Thinking about it, you could actually have multiple reviewers in key demographics as well for more targeted talks with variable rates. EDIT: You could also have multiple reviewers (extra charge) so that you can get a different perspective

  Hm, interested in sharing some more ideas on this? Like a crappy prototype?

    I'm snowed under with current startup, side project and client work (bootstrapping is hard!) but if you do anything with it I'd love to see the outcome, drop me an email at ben@metasoftware.co.uk :)
