Google Docs Adds Presentations

Google finally rounds out their web-based office suite with the addition of a Presentations to Google Docs. Create a whole new slideshow in Presentations or upload an existing .PPT (PowerPoint) file to get started. Kick your web-based presentation file view into slideshow mode and invite others to see it real-time as you move through slides—with chat built right into the sidebar. Make the slideshow public or invite specific collaborators to edit and/or view. Here's my test Life Hacks 101 presentation (imported into Google Docs) which I used at a talk this summer. While I wouldn't use a browser-based slideshow to give a real-time, in-person presentation, for collaborating on a set of slides remotely, this looks ace. Of course, web-based presentation-makers aren't new; Zoho Show and Preezo have been around for some time now.
