You'll see something different when
clicking New in Google Docs. The option
to create a presentation with Google's
online suite has been on the radar since
Google disclosed it in April 2007, confirming
an earlier rumor about it posted to
Google Operating System.
People have the option of creating
new presentations with the slide editor
in Google Docs. The technology comes
from a blend of companies Google acquired
for their slide-based innovations.
As noted on the official Google blog,
presentations and collaboration go hand
in hand with this new product:
When it's time to present, participants
can simply click a link to follow along
as the presenter takes the audience
through the slideshow. Participants
are connected through Google Talk and
can chat about the presentation as they're
watching.
The debut of presentations gives Google
another point on which they and Capgemini
can compete with Microsoft for certain
segments of enterprise workers. Google's
deal with Capgemini gives it access
to a lot of people working for units
managed by the IT outsourcer.
