Google's new offerings

Two pretty interesting offerings from Google: Google Presentation and Blogger Play.

My initial thoughts on Google Presentation:

  • Google presentation offers very basic presentation options.
  • We can just about create a simple presentation having texts and pictures.
  • PPT uploads of upto 10 MB allowed, though the presentations we create in Google Presentation cannot be saved in .ppt format
  • No slide transitions or animations available.
  • Online collaboration and file revision is the greatest advantage this has as of now
Overall Google Presentation offers nothing great as of now, except ofcourse the online collaboration tool. However this is bound to change once Google starts offering more features. Hope the addition of Google Presentation helps users move more towards web-based services.

Blogger Play is a simple, but interesting tool which continuously shows the latest pictures that have been uploaded by Blogger users. A never ending slideshow, it's a nice distraction especially when someone is too much tied down to work.
