Playing with PicasaWeb Slideshows (using Gen. Powell on Leadership)

Posted in Google on May 21st, 2007 by Thomas Korte – Be the first to comment

When Google announced the availability of flash slideshows in PicasaWeb, I figured that this might be an interesting way to share presentations until Google Docs for Presentations is available.

Here is how I did it:

  1. Save a .ppt as a .jpg
  2. Index the folder by picasa
  3. Upload the images to picasaweb
  4. create html snippet using the “Embed Slideshow” link on picasaweb
  5. post html snippet on this site

Below is an example using a summary of General Powell’s lessons on leadership. I am not sure who sent me this preso, but I remember that it was shortly after General Powell visited the Google campus.
