Slideshare.net supports upload of Keynote '09 files
Apple's marquee presentation tool may make it easy to look professional when it comes to showing off in front of an in-person audience, but when it comes to sharing those killer decks online the choices have been limited; Keynote's package-based file format made uploading and decoding pretty challenging for most. Among these, Slideshare stood out by allowing Keynote uploads -- assuming you compressed your file to a .zip before shipping it along.Now that Keynote '09 does automatic compression of .key files (which makes it a lot easier to throw them on a flash drive, among other things), Slideshare has announced direct support for Keynote files. Upload your presentations with glee, and share them at will! The conversion process is still a bit rough around the edges, so in some cases you may have better results by saving the Keynote file to PPT instead... but it's still a welcome development.

I am not sure I understand how this would be better than simply putting it up on YouTube or converting it into a video file.
Keynote '09 has sharing options that let you send a video to iTunes, Youtube, iDVD, etc. How is this preferable (and to be clear here - I'm not critiquing, just asking - anyone else have experience with this service?).

You can upload Keynote 09 because the actual file is know compressed file that contains all the presentation data vs. 08 and earlier the actual Keynote files was a folder.
