280-logo2.pngIt seems like there are a growing number of places you can create online presentations.  Technology Bites points to 280 Slides, an online tool for creating and sharing presentations on the web.

The good part of the tool is that it allows you to pull the data from various online services and to share it using SlideShare, they say.

280 Slides says of itself:

  • Take It With You — We store your presentations securely on our server so you can take them anywhere in the world where there’s an Internet connection.
  • Download to PowerPoint — With a single click you can download a copy of your presentation in the Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 format.
  • Built-In Media Search — Add photos and movies to your presentation directly from popular web services like Flickr and YouTube.
  • Publish to the Web — Put your presentation on SlideShare, e-mail it to a friend, or embed it directly on your own website, all with just a few clicks.
  • Stunning Themes — It’s easy to make a great looking presentation with our professional quality built-in themes.
  • Run in Your Web Browser — 280 Slides runs right in the browser, with no download and no installation, and it works just like the desktop applications you’re used to.
