Absolute PowerPoint is about presenting, and is not necessarily restricted to PowerPoint. We cover how you can convert your presentations to video clips or to a DVD. We also explore more sharing options, and also look at some amazing talks that can inspire us to deliver better presentations.
Cory Jim of Empowered Presentations, Hawaii posted this online presentation about Yancey Unequivocally‘s Ignite presentation on Indezine’s PowerPoint and Presenting Stuff LinkedIn group. Yancey delivered the presentation so well–she certainly must have practiced many times to be so much in sync with all her slides. Thanks for putting this up, Cory and Yancey.

This is an amazing video from College Humor that looks at how all fonts behave when they are personified. This is all humor, but between the lines, you may find some wisdom too.

Everyone has a folder or many folders full of PowerPoints – be they for business, school, or just the funny or inspiring ones that we receive as email attachments. Although sending PowerPoints as an email attachment is so convenient, it can quickly balloon up email sizes and increase mail inbox sizes. And someone can probably edit your PowerPoints as well and do some nasty things like passing those presentations as their own! So, what do you do – there must be a better solution.

Flypaper is a cool, new presentation creation program that lets you create Flash presentations that you can instantly upload to sites like YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook. In its present beta incarnation, it has some rough edges and any comparison with PowerPoint would be probably like comparing apples and oranges since Flypaper seems to provide a very different concept altogether.

Doing makeovers of slides is such a satisfying task, That may be because removing the ugly and replacing it with near perfection is a reward in itself. Over the years, we have understood that the approach required to do any actual makeover is never the same. In the same way, as the fingerprints of two humans don’t match, the approaches required to do makeovers for two presentations, or even for two slides are dissimilar.

Laura Bergells, who runs Maniactive linked to this tip on Lifehacker.
This quick hack allows you to quickly view a higher-quality video on YouTube.
This is a rather funny clip from MADtv about a PowerPoint presentation that goes terribly wrong. While PowerPoint is not to blame, you do see the cheesy cat clip art, and also the way in which some presenters treat their PowerPoint presentations.
