Hey Google: When Can Matt Cutts Ditch Microsoft PowerPoint?
Hey Google, what ever happened to your (not) Microsoft PowerPoint killer Web-based presentation app in the works? Everyone’s favorite Google blogger, Matt Cutts, could use a little Google Presentation love right now: His “Gadgets, Google and SEO” blog is presenting a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation!
After all, Google Office may ”not have all the functionality” of Microsoft Office, but that is a good thing, because the Google way is a “better fit of how people use the Web.” Says who? Chief Googler Eric Schmidt.
Schmidt shared his insider Google knowledge of Google Apps at the Web 2.0 Expo in April while pre-announcing a Google presentation addition to its suite of Web-based office productivity applications:
Microsoft does have a collection of Web-based products. But for people who need presentation apps on the Web, they are going to use this. This is a testament to the strength of Web 2.0.
In fact, the slides Schmidt used to make his Google Office point at the Expo were part of the Google Docs and Spreadsheet’s “presentation” tool in the works:
It’s a way of doing presentations. Collaboration is a killer app for how communities work.
When will Google’s (Microsoft PowerPoint) “killer” actually debut? Google acquired Zenter’s online slideshow app in June and the Tonic System’s presentation services in April.
Google is “working hard” to “add presentations to the mix” of Google Docs & Spreadsheets, and has promised an official “presentation” addition “this summer.”
WELL? August is beginning to wind down and Google’s Matt Cutts finds himself STILL posting Microsoft PowerPoint presentations at his blog.
Hey Google, when will Matt ditch Microsoft so he can make his own presentation “testament” to the strength of web 2.0, Google’s Web 2.0 that is.
