Which Presentation Software/Service Rocks, and Why?

by Walter Naeslund on October 14, 2009

Just found a “new” bus going door to door from my Sofo apartment to my Noho office. Perfect! Especially considering this mornings blizzard. (Ok. I’m exaggerating). Today is presentation day, and game days are my favorite days. Especially when you know that the keynote presentation on your MBP humbly kicks ass! Today is one of those days.

But, getting there was not without hurdles, and for this is why I would like to pass out a question here that you may have the answer to:

I love Google apps, but I have a hard time making presentations there look good. Slideshare feels like a bit of a hassle, though it might just be me being lazy. I end up back with Keynote all the time, and I hate how we always end up in versioning trouble.

Now, I know you, my dear readers, are the creme de la creme of thinkers and speakers, and would love to hear your opinion – which presentations software/service rocks and why?

Try Prezi – http://prezi.com/

Flash based application. Good because it's non-linear and not Powerpoint.

Worth investing in a desktop client version.

I've had nothing but good reactions so far.

I haven't had the time to test it, but http://faculte.com seems interesting.
You should also have a look at http://empressr.com and http://sliderocket.com.

Scribd (http://scribd.com) and http://thinkfree.com are alternatives to slideshare for sharing/hosting presentations.
