The online presentation scene is getting more crowded — the newest entrant in Vcasmo. Vcasmo is different from other online presentation sites because it lets you show both your presentation slides and a video clip at the same time.
You need to upload your presentation and video first, resequence the content in a basic timeline editor, and then publish it. For your presentation, you can upload PowerPoint files, Adobe PDFs, and picture file formats.
Publishing can take a while, but Vcasmo can send you an email, or ping you on IM when it’s done!

For sure, Microsoft’s MacBU does have some great minds. What else would explain this new Art of Office concept that shows how users worldwide create art from ordinary Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents?
As their Mac Mojo blog says: “Art of Office is a place for people to submit artistic and/or useful content made using Office applications (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint). Whether it’s creating pixel art using Excel (a la our Post-it Notes) developing an animated short story in PowerPoint or artistic pieces in Word, this online community allows you to share, rate, remix and discuss user-submitted content with other Mac Office users around the world. It’s a fun way to show unique applications of our product and helps people think of Mac Office in ways they may not have thought of before”.
And while there are lots of comments there which complain about the delay in the release of Office 2008, I really like this initiative — all work and no play is no good!
