What The F**K is Social Media? Twitter Bootcamp for PR: A Recap. Slideshows 2.0 - ReadWriteWeb. When it comes to presentations, typical slideshows have gotten a bad reputation for being dull and dry.
That doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Thanks to Web 2.0 tools and applications, you can bring pizzazz to your presentations like never before. Whether you're looking for an "un-slideshow" altogether or just looking to add a little kick to the boring charts and graphs in your PowerPoint, you can find something here that fits your needs as we introduce you to Slideshows 2.0.
Look Out PowerPoint - SlideRocket Rocks - 500 Beta Invites. This week has been good for SlideRocket, an online presentation application built on Adobe's Flex platform.
The app had an ultra successful public debut at the Under the Radar Conference, where it won 3 out of 4 possible awards, and they also announced a $2 million Series A investment from Hummer Winblad. This morning I got a demo of the application from founder Mitch Grasso and came away duly impressed. 500 lucky ReadWriteWeb users can get a spot in the private SlideRocket beta by clicking here. I first met Grasso at the Adobe Max conference in September. While we were there, Adobe announced that it had acquired a Flex-based online word processor called Buzzword.
At the time I gushed that Buzzword had me nearly ready to trade in Microsoft Word and wondered if the acquisition signaled a serious entry into the web office fray for Adobe.
