Flash powerpoint killer wana be - Thumbstacks
Well, it might not be able to kill Powerpoint, but make a dent it should. Thumbstacks.com is a free online presentation builder, in Flash. Or, if you don’t have Flash installed, in AJAX.
It has a nice online interface to create applications (see screen shot), the ability to manipulate fonts (including sizes and colors), drag and drop functionality, image inclusion (including flickr images using the Flickr API).
You can’t draw on it or have those fancy animation effects. It’s a very basic powerpoint tool that does the basic works, presenting information, freely and online. For people like KISS approach, it’s good enough.
By seeing Google building up the office tool inventory with their big $$$ working, I can see the only business of Thumstacts is to be bought out. It seems they need work harder to get noticed. Writely did it, so tools like Thumstacts should be able to do it too. After all, we all know there are lots of people making living by doing presentation everyday.
