SlideShare: Ignite Web 2.0 Expo SF II

The slide decks from the recent Ignite night, synced up to recordings of the presentations. Each is a mere five minutes long, and I highly recommend “By the time I finish this talk, everyone were will want to run a marathon”, “Snarkatron” and “Giant Monsters”.

The worst website in the history of the world ever?

Not that it’s a bad site — it’s very nicely put together. I mean “worst” in the sense of “most evil and damaging to humanity”. Slide decks are going to fall into one of two main categories

1) Lots of text and information. Possibly useful as documents, but spectacularly fucking dreadful as presentations. (If the audience is reading your slide, they’re not listening to you)

2) Lots of pictures and headings, but minimal content. Potentially great illustrations if there’s someone giving an informative talk in front of them, but relatively useless to be shared on a website.

On the plus side, I’ll have a metric shitload of ammunition next time I do a presentation on awful powerpoint.
