This is us (LiveLoop). If any HNers are using PowerPoint 2007 and need to collaborate in Wave-like realtime with colleagues, email me at amal@getliveloop.com and I will set you up with a free account.
Funny how few comments there are on this one. As much as MS isn't the hotness right now, this is a cool product to retroactively add third-party collaboration feature to a complex app. Hats off to you guys as that seems like an impressive feat for such a mature project.
Perhaps because there are not that many PowerPoint users or people that need a feature like this? LiveLoop seems like a last resort if sitting together in the same office isn't a possibility. I've never had to collaborate with many people on a presentation, though, but I have used the chat on Google Docs with great success ... once or twice.
Thanks endergen! You're right, this isn't something that gets a lot of excitement in places like HN but it gets a ton of enthusiasm from our users. And yes, there is impressive technology under the hood.
I get the feeling that many of the ideas in Wave have diffused out into products/services like Google Docs and Google+ Hangouts. (Think of the live editing and internal chat features within Google Docs.)
Stypi is phenomenal! Looking forward to the vim plugin. I see a tremendous number of use cases, especially as it starts to be integrated into more and more apps.
