Google Presentation – And Google Office is Ready!

Posted by

Google Documents now has Presentation as part of its online collaboration tool, and with that, Google almost have a full Office online tool. You can access it from the same New menu for Spreadsheet and Document. I have given it a quick shot. It’s got the main simple functionalities of a presentation tool. Text, image, different fonts, duplicate slide, nice and easy text box movement around the slide. I didn’t see any sound or transition options. The editor is quite easy to use and fast as well. I was impressed. Viewing the presentation took a bit of time with my humble connection, but it’s nice you can see who is joining the presentation online. Give it a shot at Google Docs.

Ali Deera Chat: Thanks for the tip on lotus. I read about it and want to look at it.

Google Apps is no where near Microsoft Office I know. It’s a long way to go, if ever. Instead it’s a strong feature for online collaboration that I find could come in handy. For example if I work on project, I can collaborate with my partner, show my work to client and share the demo. All for FREE.

As for Cnet podcast and yours, thanks. Musaed gave me the hint I needed for long time. I placed my order for iPod and now waiting for it just for the sake of those useful and interesting podcasts. Thanks :)

but the big question is : what if you are offline????

offline. Good question. Google have started implementing Google Gears, which is a small client to enable some Google stuff to be browsed offline, like Google Reader. It hasn’t been much of a success as far as I know though.
