280 Slides for fast, easy, free online presentations
Posted by Jacque on October 13th, 2008
Bob Walsh at Cnet News calls 280 Slides a notable online replacement for desktop presentation app that is fast, functional and very visual.
You can create a presentation with a theme, add graphics and video, present it and/or share it via Slideshare, or download it as a PowerPoint or PDF file.
“It’s so smooth to use that it’s hard to tell the difference in the experience between working in a traditional presentation app like Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote. It doesn’t have a traditional app’s over-the-top feature set, but it’s so fast and easy to use you’ll probably not notice that,” he says.
280 Slides notes that there is no software to download and nothing to pay for – and after you have created your presentation you can share it any way you like.
