Google Docs Gets Presentable

Google has recently added some new features to Google Presentations, which is a component of the free Google Docs office suite. Google Presentations has the same basic features as Microsoft’s Powerpoint application, but lacks much of the professional polish and wow-factor of the latter.

Where the Google applications shine, though, is in their collaboration features. Multiple people can collaborate on creating a presentation and the finished product can easily be shared publicly or with an invited group. Major new feature include the ability to easily embed slide shows into web sites as well as drag-and-drop image insertion and slide importing.
