Google Docs has presentation!

We knew this was coming when Google acquired Tonic back in April. And now its here. {Happy dance}

No longer shall we be held hostage by Microsoft. From now on our allegiance shall be with Google. That’s an improvement, right? :^)

We went through various presentations tools with my ECMP class today, and told my class that Google should be getting a presentation tool soon … and as soon as I said it, I noticed it. That’s just in time rollout.

Wasn’t totally happy with how it rendered existing presentations. Had to edit a number of slides….also loaded quite slowly…but hey, it’s the first day!

Thanks for pointing this out Rob. The presentation feature gives it huge potential. Maybe I’ll use it for BarCamp. If they add live audio to this we could use it instead of Elluminate or LearnLinc.

I can’t see any reason why audio couldn’t be integrated via Gtalk, since they are already using the chat function.

Dean – I agree that it isn’t a PowerPoint killer at this stage. I’ll be interested to see what kinds of additional features can be added. I’d like to see the ability to create a presentation by importing a Google Notebook.
