[...] O site TechCrunch publicou ontem que a Google deverá lançar algum produto novo durante o evento TechCrunch40 Conference 2007, que se realizará em São Francisco, nos dias 17 e 18 de setembro. Imediatamente, a bolsa de apostas, para se descobrir qual seria este produto começou a ser feita. Até agora, o produto que está em primeiro lugar é o conhecido como Google Presently, que viria a ser o clone do Microsoft Powerpoint para Web. A própria TechCrunch, citando o The Inquirer, faz a mesma aposta. [...]

Google Presently Powerpoint Clone Could Be Days Away…

Google’s long awaited Powerpoint clone could be days away from launching, according to a report at The Inquirer.

The service is said to be called “Presently” and is based in part on code from Zenter and Tonic Systems, two companies Google acquir…

I haven’t jumped on the band wagon for online apps yet, simply because they don’t have all the features I require. It is sooo much simpler for me to write straight into a Word document, rather then opening up an Internet browser, load up Google Docs, login, new file and finally start typing.

The biggest feature of online apps is the ability to collaborate, and share (at the same time). This is possible with Microsoft Office, it might be expensive and hard for individuals to setup but small/medium/large businesses could easily set it up for their use.

I think Microsoft need to start advertising their solutions about multi-user collaboration and sharing because it seems like not many people know they can do it with their Office applications already.

SlideRocket isn’t just about art and design; it’s also got themes, layouts, templates, charts, tables, and all the tools necessary to succeed in business. It automatically creates a library of content as you work, so that you can share slides between your presentations. This is much quicker than copying and pasting between PowerPoint decks, and the slides are truly shared so that changes in one place are reflected everywhere. When you’re ready to present, you can do it offline in a conference room and online via a hosted meeting or a web link, with or without password protection and an expiration date.

Agreed that AJAX PowerPoint clones aren’t going to be able to keep up with SlideRocket’s art and design, but that’s just the icing on the cake. No one’s going to make you use the transitions if you don’t want to…

Mitch: great product, but has a DNA error. It seems to assume presentation is about art and design. WRONG. Presentation is about structure and rhetorics. As to animations, they look cool but slide transitions have a known side effect – they piss off the audience to hell very soon. Take this into account when planing new release.

Everything has its own beauty. What yahoo mail could achieve till now gmail could not. MS Office is still the best. When Wiki will start to launch a search machine Google has to count days. It`s better to concentrate to reamin as a search engine. That`s my advice to google.

Try preezo.com. Looks similar to MSFT. Simple and nice.

ZOHO is has lot of features but looks poor in usability. Hope they improve on their usability

I wish Google would clearly differentiate between applications that are naturally server-centric (search, news reader, email, calendar, todo lists, instant messaging, wiki, address books and contact management, disk backup, etc) and those that are naturally (high-end) client centric (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, etc). The web isn’t going to do the latter very well any time soon. And Google could do the former much better than they are today, if they focused on it.

For the latter group, I’ve tried iWorks ‘08; I’ve tried opensource apps; I’ve tried online apps; I’ve tried VM running various flavors of office. They all suck. I’m stuck waiting for Mac Office 2008 which will be out any year now …

Ah, so this is the techcrunch presentation. That was too obvious! I think the iphone making it to the UK will make more headlines though

Zoho has got a very good Presentation suite already. If google does not offer the better product than the Zoho, Google will have not benefits just only showing its presence is every market.
