280slides.com

After reading about this site in Larry Ferlazzo´s blog, a blog I often read, I decided to give 280slides a try. It´s very easy to create a presentation and get an embed code. I advise everyone to try the tour first which makes using it simpler.

ADVANTAGES

• you don´t need to download any program.
• you can have access to your presentation from anywhere you want (provided you have internet access)
• it´s extremely easy to use.
• you can share your presentation with people (via e-mail) , you can embed it in your blog (like I´ve just done), and you can even watch it FULL SCREEN from your blog.
• you can download it to your computer.
• you can download it to slideshare.
  
• It´s FREE!!!!!

DISADVANTAGES

• you can´t add effects to your sentences, so your presentation becomes poorer.
• there are very few available templates.
  

I´ve just read an interview with the creators of 280 slides and they are planning on offering importing options for powerpoint files. That would make it perfect, provided you keep the effects you created in powerpoint. I can´t wait to see what´s coming next.
All in all, I have a very positive feeling towards trying 280 slides again. The clean interface is very helpful and easy.

Flypaper.net X Powerpoint

Everyone is very familiar with Powerpoint by now and I wanted to try something different that could offer me other tools.

Well, Flypaper offers various models you can use, you can also dowload models from the community of users and also use the online space to host your presentations. It´s not so simple to use so I advise watching the tutorials first and I also found a bit complicated to understand how to publish the presentations.

I´ve used the opportunity to make a presentation for a conference I´m taking part in July in Fortaleza (Brazil). I´ve published my presentation in two formats: full screen (downloaded to my computer as a flash animation) and also published it to the flypaper community where you can get the embed code.
