5 web tools to quickly create amazing presentations

Having a hard time trying to get people to focus on your presentations?

Usually everyone uses Microsoft PowerPoint and it is still one of the most-used tools for slideshow presentations all over the world. But there are some really cool tools which take the idea of presentation to the next creative level. These tools are changing trends and we are moving from slide-based presentations towards scrolling down a page because more people are using these Web services to host their presentations, and presenting them via tablets. Let’s scroll through some of these services.


Scroll Show

This new Web service makes presenting easy and attractive. Instead of moving from one slide to another, all the content can be scrolled from left to right. The look and feel of the presentation is much more natural and smooth. These presentations can be embedded on a blog or Web site. All you need to do is select a theme, throw in some photos, text and shapes. Customize the animation and you are ready to go! As an iPad app, Scroll Show will set you back by $3.99.

It works on the modern Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. To navigate the slides, use your keyboard left and right arrows.
