Spresent - A Worthy Contender for Google Powerpoint

Spresent is the best "Web Powerpoint" service out there that lets you create very impressive and "interactive" Flash presentations in seconds. If the hunt for Google Powerpoint is still on, Spresent is one tool that Google should seriously consider.


Spresent has a simple and intuitive drag-n-drop interface with all the standard tools that you normally see in existing web Powerpoint services. Like Microsoft OneNote, you can select objects and place them anyone on the screen.

Spresent offers seamless integration with Flickr - you can directly import pictures from Flickr into Spresent and either create slideshows or just use them to enhance the existing slides.

Youtube Video clips can be embedded in the Web presentation using the web image object. Playing live streaming video in a presentation is so cool.

Using the freehand pen tool, you can trace pictures or paint rough sketches. The pen movements are captured and they playback in the same style as they were drawn.

The gallery browser or library has a vast collection of cliparts, background graphics and vector animations for your slides. Another impressive feature are the interactive 3D excel bar and pie graphs that can be modified even while the presentation is non-edit mode.

And during the play mode, Spresent provides a set of screen pens for annotating the running presentation which is surely a very useful feature. Highly recommended.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
