My Presentations Live in the Cloud

Why Bother Creating a Presentation?

Because:

  1. We have some ideas to share.
  2. It's a good way to earn attention.
  3. We live in the age of attention economy.

Best Way to Earn Attention

  1. Upload your presentation to the (much hyped) cloud, so that the search engines can find it.
  2. Use an open file format, so that the search engines can look into it.
  3. License your presentation using one of the creative commons licenses so that people can share it

Why Use jQuery Presentation?

  1. No need for presentation software
  2. Light weight
  3. Easily searchable and processed by regexp

Action!

  1. Dump ppt (and especially the patent-encumbered pptx) in favor of Trevor Davis's jQuery Presentation Plugin, or a variant modified by me from Trevor's original work.
  2. See my presentations as an example.
  3. Or if you prefer graphics, consider dumping prezi in favor of JessyInk.
  4. Similarly, consider dumping doc (and especially the patent-encumbered docx) in favor of wiki
