I have to admit week 13 was my least favorite assignment for the 23 Things Kansas program. If I want to share photographs, I use Flickr, Picasa, or another photo sharing site. If I want to share a presentation, I'll send a PowerPoint presentation via email, or set up a webinar. However, in the spirit of 23 Things, I explored Zoho Show, a online presentation tool.
I decided to use an old PowerPoint presentation I did on wikis for one of my MLS courses. It is not one of my better ones, but it fit nicely with Week 15's topic. It should have been a simple import, according to the cites documentation, but what I found was that nearly all of my formatting was erased. Worse, the entire interface is extremely clunky for a presentation tool. Zoho Show's tools are more fitting for a blog post, than a presentation. After spending almost as much time on reformatting the presentation as I did creating the presentation, I created my Zoho Show.
None the less, the experience left me disappointed.
What are your experiences with using Zoho? Are there alternatives that are better?
