Google Presentations & Shared Stuff

In Google Docs I decided to try Google Presentations. In no time I was able to create a simple presentation using one of the Themes ( templates). The other feature in Google Presentations that I like is that I am able to determine who can have full access to my presentation ( collaborator) and who can only be a viewer.

However, it seems to me that it is not a complete application if it is not supporting customization of slides, basic animations, transitions and sounds. Maybe plans to add those by Google are on the way.

Another interesting application that Google started in September of this year is Shared Stuff.

This program resides on your browser and allows you to share links with friends and co-workers. To activate Shared Stuff, you need to drag the icon to your browser, have a Google account and create your own profile page to store your shared links.

Your personal profile page is open to the public and you can link your photo and home page or blog to it.



When you click the Google Email/Share icon, you can choose between posting the page to your profiled page, emailing it to your contacts or bookmarking it with del.icio.us, furl.
digg, and facebook.
