Rageboy in an email passes along the following message from his in inbox:
We thought you might be interested in www.pptexchange.com . — We are now in the process of getting the word out about the site...
The site is focused on allowing its users to publish, trade and sell content in PowerPoint presentation format. A marketplace for presentations !
If you have any presentations (self-promotions are welcomed ) that are sitting on your hard disk getting dusty please bring them online... Publish hem... Decide on a price ($ or email), put them out for free, or make available for viewing online only - please sign up and upload it! — It is free...
Any help spreading the word would be most appreciated!
Regards,
pptExchangeTeam
Not a lot there at the moment that isn't a sample or posted by the PPTexchange team. But doesn't this have to be either: 1. A performance art piece or 2. The future home of Powerpoint parodies?
Not that either would be a bad thing... [Tags: powerpoint markets exchanges ]

Lessig should upload some of his decks, just to blow their little minds.

Or how about Tom Peters? --as a clinical demonstration of the abuse of presentation software during severe manic episodes.

Ah, another source of powerpoint karoke. To liven up a boring meeting during the break, you find a random powerpoint, project it on the screen, and pass around the mic, and people ad-lib to the slides.

Sure, lots of potential for amusement here, but this could be a great new channel for self-publishing. I've always thought it would be great to create ppt's as a teaching tool for kids. Imagine slide 1 with a huge A and a-words fly in when you hit the key to advance. Sit on the couch with your kids and review the alphabet. Or show them how 3+4 gets to 7.
Maybe this site will be the right distribution path for something like this.
