Presentations - The Way It's Done in the 21st Century
Featuring... Tara Hunt.
Tara is a bit of marketing and presentation hero to me. She worked for a company as their evangelist and she was so good at it that when she left I stopped caring about the company and product and have just followed her work with all of her innovative new clients.
I get great ideas for camp and for the photography business from the things that Tara works on. (Plus, I'm happy to cheer for her as a Canadian working in Silicon Vally). I love that she works so openly and shares so much of what she does (on her blog, work blog, Flickr, etc.). Just lately, she posted about a new service she was using called Slideshare where she was posting her presentations (ie. Powerpoint slides). Her talks are consistently great and she makes great slides - important to a visualist like me.
I just watched a video of her presentation to GOVIS in New Zealand called Unmanaging: Unleashing the Creative Beast. I watched the video on Blip.tv and followed along on with her slides.
I'm going to set up all of my presentations like this from now on. Another great thing to advertise your skills on the WWW (and to keep on your claimID page)
(must go learn something about compressing video...)

Secret to cool presentations? I use fellow-Canuck company iStockPhoto.com. They have such amazing stock photography! :)
I love iStockPhoto - I'm in the process of starting to submit photos.
(is there any web service for which you are not signed up ? Are you like me and go in and try to grab all the good login names when some thing starts to show it's worth?)
