Looks promising!
Does anyone enjoy using http://prezi.com or http://www.brainshark.com/ instead of using Microsoft PowerPoint for client presentations?

+Jean Egan Oh my goodness, gracious! Welcome to the World of Prezi! The Best Discovery Ever! I've been using Prezi for a year and a half as a university professor. Please don't compare it to PowerPoint…that's not the magic. Prezi is for the PRESENTER, not the audience. It allows you to brainstorm about your topic and play with relationships between the concepts you wish to present, leading you to a deeper understanding of the topic. The Audience is along for the ride and the non-text spatial information is soaked up along with the images and videos. Don't worry about design. Just think of something you would like to explain and dive right in. I was totally hooked in under 5 seconds… =]
Ooh, thank you for your perspective, +William L. Weaver! You've sold me – I love exploring and learning, though I tend to tiptoe rather than jump right in to something new 🙂
+Jean Egan I've been spreading the word…most effectively to my kids who have introduced it in their school. Any tool that gets kids excited about learning, is easy to learn and master, and causes them to infect their friends is A-OK in my book. Best of luck! =]
A friend of mine started using it for his classes, and I used it for my next presentation. It rewards those with big screens, and is hard on Netbook users like me, but it's great.
+Ron Lusk I agree with your point about being difficult on a Netbook. I use two 17" monitors… One for the Prezi and the other to search for images and media to include. More screen real estate is definitely better…
Thanks William & Ron – I will dive in after I finish a couple big projects due mid April. The suspense will near-kill me. hehe!
William – you've inspired me to put my Myers-Briggs type in my profile. Nice idea!
+Jean Egan Hehe. Glad you liked it! It fits me 110%, so I figured it would be a great introduction. =]
E/INTP,pretty well balanced on the E/I scale, depending on when I took the test.
I hate power point. I'm going to have to check this out. Thanks for the tip.
[Mumbles something about Microsoft then high-fives Dan for being a fellow Power Point hater.]
Hehe!
