This is because, by definition, a presentation belongs to the audience. It has to be a learning experience for them, and not for the presenter. Any presentation can be said to achieve this goal only if this is a collaborative process. <br /><br /> <br />The hitch here is - this Q&A activity has to be asynchronous for following reasons:<br />1. The audience may not have questions on the exact time any slide is presented <br />2. The audience may consist of a large number of people, where all may not get a chance to ask questions in given time frame<br />3. When the Q&A session is held in the end, some of the audience may just forget the questions or choose not to ask them by then. <br /><br /><br />As outlined in the post, a very good answer to above problems is TeemingPod. <br /><br /><br />The ability to let the audience comment on a particular slide at any point of time during the presentation and referring to the question at a suitable time always works wonders. There can be a healthy discussion on any slide without interrupting the presentation flow and without missing any questions. <br /><br />The presentation can also be shared ahead of time for questions and comments. Here, as the feedback is in context with a particular slide, it becomes very valuable during and after the presentation. <br /><br />There is one additional benefit - It is also very reassuring to know that at least some in the audience are trying to listen and reflect on the presentation content and not just checking emails and chatting :)Prachi Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712371965070532724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886631232648136204.post-44933189578847269912011-02-22T02:25:13.924-08:002011-02-22T02:25:13.924-08:00I bought an iPad this Friday.

Truth be told, Flipboard was a big reason I just couldn't control it any more. Well, it just flipped me over!<br /><br />So, since this weekend, I have been browsing my FB, Twitter, Google Reader accounts via Flipboard. It definitely is a custom magazine for me, and targeted advertising is definitely a HUGE potential (did Google just pop into everyone's head?). In any case, Apple (or whoever purchases or kills Flipboard) has the potential to do what Google did with keyword search advertising.<br /><br />There are two distinct things that are emerging - for Free and Paid content respectively. Free content served via Flipboard will carry ads. This is the holy grail as you say, and it will be as big as AdWords! In fact, I will stick my neck out and say that custom content is to mobile what search was to web - both tremendously monetize-able. Of course, search will always be big (as long as we're humans!) but not too many months from now, you would have subscribed to all the things in the world that interest you. And you will find things just popping up (it already happens to some extent with Google!).<br /><br />The other is paid content delivered via these platforms (Android, iOS etc.). I guess we'll have to see how the content and service delivery fight that Apple recently brewed up will go. I am a huge Apple fan, but being an Apple fan is like being on a roller coaster - you enjoy while being on top, but you always worry about the fall (and the unpleasantness it causes sometimes). Hope Apple has its strategy figured out with paid content.<br /><br />(Sorry, for being such a long comment, it could have been a blog post itself!)Shivesh Vishwanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640059198780536800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886631232648136204.post-67472412699389112702011-02-20T22:05:08.818-08:002011-02-20T22:05:08.818-08:00I suppose #2 refers to the penchant for animation ...I suppose #2 refers to the penchant for animation some presenters have.
