I agree. I met Wayne & Robbie at a YC tea (the day after a rehearsal demo, which I heard they rocked), and immediately fell in love with the way Zenter actually leveraged the web to make presentation software BETTER.
This is great. I'll definitely be a user. I've never been a big fan of creating Documents or Spreadsheets, but Google Docs has me creating some useful stuff, now that will include Slides. A very nice addition to my Firefox OS.
I did find it incongruous to see "You can start new online documents by emailing them directly to this email address: <long string>@prod.writely.com"
Damn it. I want to email upload to The Google, not Writely.
wow. after making a simple presentation with this thing, i don't want to stab anyone to death the way i do whenever i use PowerPoint or OpenOffice.org (i always say fuck it and use LaTeX/S5 instead). thanks, google!
I love it. I haven't seen the old Zenter, so I'm not sure what to compare it to. I made and published a presentation, then added a slide. It took a refresh, but this is why online documents are awesome. You can click send and publish the doc, and still edit it.
Too bad a loaded presentation requires a refresh to get the updates. The spreadsheet is really live.
Also, it would be nice to get a web-cam mic input as a presenter.
It would be interesting to know how Yahoo and MS responds - I wonder someone like ZOHO is still not yet bought - may be too expensive but definitely to look forward for as they also have project management (like MS Project) and CRM tools and apps ...
