SlideRocket is a Cool New Presentation Tool

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Our company is a classic Mac/PC culture clash, with the creative department totally Mac, and the rest of the company on PC’s. Besides the cool factor of the Macs, there is a notable distinction between the two cultures whenever a presentation is done, as the PC users are encumbered by the clunkiness of PowerPoint, whereas the Mac users have much a much more robust option by using Keynote.

SlideRocket just leveled the playing field with its new “Zeta” release.

Its freeware version comes with 250MB storage and an unlimited number of presentations. Upgraded versions for $10 or $20 per user/month, offer up to a GB of store per user, and have a variety of collaborative features, and even a web meetings version at the $20/month level.

Its asset management tools are outstanding, allowing all kinds of image enhancement and 3-D modeling, much like Keynote.

Plus, because all the assets are online, sharing and collaborating are a breeze, and so is accessing the presentation from wherever you happen to be.

They should be paying me for this stuff.

Again, details in Techcrunch.

Poodwaddle Offers Mix of Tools, Content

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

One of the people in our office sent me a link to www.poodwaddle.com recently, specifically to their world clock.

Very interesting stuff in that it showed statistics on the population, environment, energy, crimes and other interesting perspectives on the human condition.

This caused me to check out the entire site, which is filled with interesting tools, freeware, games, mp3′s, the world clock and earth clock, and a robust search tool across all these categories and more.

The home page is customizable and the tools are pretty sweet.

Definitely, they should lose the ladybug, however….
