Prezi Dazzles: Live Recording of a Social Media Class

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:44:00 +0000

I’ve said before: if you wanto to dazzle with your presentation, use Prezi. The Prezi team did to presentations what Google did to email: throw away all pre-existing notions, re-think why and how we use email (presentations) and build something from scratch. That’s how you get results that truly dazzle.

Of course that brings up the question of just how much you want to dazzle: probably not too much in the corporate world: as Prezi throws away all notions of what presentations are (used to be), there would be too much “undoing”, too steep a learning curve. PowerPoint and Enterprise are too deeply intertwined. That said Prezi is a great tool (online and offline) for superstar freelancers, small groups, or just about anyone who gets on stage and wants to … yes, dazzle.

But Prezi can make you dizzy :-) at least in the video below, played 10 times the original speed. So hold on to your chair tight, and enjoy…

When Design Meets Ergonomics – And When They Fail Together

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:16:30 +0000

Styling and ergonomics don’t always go hand in hand. Look at these cool chairs:

And look is about all you can do – good luck trying to sit in them for a longer period.

But in the case of the latest Mouse War, you have great design, ergonomics and functionality all on one side, and ugly bulkiness and utter uselessness on the other. But I’m not telling which is which :-)

(P.S. I seriously thought it was a joke - but we're nowhere near April 1st)

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:31:40 +0000

Nowadays the only context we hear about Skype is the legal fight (care to bet how long it will take for the previous Net Celebs to become the Hated Greedy Ones who try to sc**w all of us?) – I would much rather read about new features, improvements.

After all, Skype is the single most popular voice and video calling application. But let’s not forget it’s also an IM system – in fact as this Infoworld article points out, it has become the reigning IM system.

And therein lies the rub: it is less and less suitable for text chat.

At least on screen… Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu delivers his keynote @ NASSCOM, and what’s the background? SAP Business ByDesign.

Business ByDesign: probably the best All-in-One SaaS suite NOT (quite) on the market today.

I’m Productized Again – This Time By Dell

First there was Nokia, with the secretive, luxury, yet-to-be-released Nokia Erdos. Back then I said:

Come think of it… I think I Open Source my name. Apple, Dell, Sony, BMW, Mercedes..etc, I’m looking forward to your Erdos models. Just don’t forget to send a courtesy unit.

Dell listened: they are coming out with the Latitude Z luxury notebook, the first notebook to charge wirelessly. Whose next? BMW? Mercedes?

I’ll be happy to add these brands to My Z-life. Just remember to send a courtesy product
