Google Presents…

From Google’s official blog:

Starting today, presentations — whether imported from existing files or created using the new slide editor — are listed alongside documents and spreadsheets in the Google Docs document list. They can be edited, shared, and published using the familiar Google Docs interface, with several collaborators working on a slide deck simultaneously, in real time. When it’s time to present, participants can simply click a link to follow along as the presenter takes the audience through the slideshow. Participants are connected through Google Talk and can chat about the presentation as they’re watching.

I checked it out. It’s cool. Now, is it going to be the Powerpoint killer some have made it out to be? Hell no. Powerpoint has a LOT of capability that Google Presentations doesn’t have. That said, what makes Presentations cool is the collaborative aspect. For example, multiple people can work on the same slide at the same time. And, when presenting, it integrates with Google Talk to allow live conversation right along with the presentation.

I smell future use of this for doing webinars.
