Many of the more effective presentation methods are actually more traditional style, rather than the animated build so commonly overused in PowerPoint. And of course there is the content – how much is too much, or too little. Check out this simple, yet powerful presentation on how to create more effective business improvement training programs.

Announced yesterday, the Wave service will allow multiple users to chat and work together in real time within a window Google is calling a ‘wave’. Wave facilitates real time exchange of documents, photos, videos, maps and IM. The speed is supposedly down to the character level, but as yet, there is no VoIP facility.

On the document side, concurrent text editing, even on image lables, will incorporate a rather nifty playback feature to show how the image and content has evolved.

Wave is merely the next line of IP communication. Find more about Wave in this

The company demonstrated the service at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco on Thursday, to several thousand developers attending the conference. It is asking developers to give feedback on the service and to participate by creating further applications on Wave’s open platform.

The code will be open source, and developers intending to build on the platform are being given access to APIs, according to a post on the official Google blog.

Now, as digital publishers and Internet marketers we all know that video is the current mode of communication – but has it quickly become the new media noise. I understand all the psycho babble behind making a personal connection with the person you are developing as a prospect – to build trust as an advisor. But how many of us really have the time to read those long winding emails filled with all the fuzzies about your daughters birthday party or what the dog did. Nor do I have time to link through and listen to all these videos. At least with audio I could download it and listen whilst driving or exercising – even cleaning the house!

The reason my Inbox has over 100 emails waiting to be read is that in spite of how enticing the call the action – I just don’t have time for everything to be in video. So what next – will we go full circle back to the short sharp email – Just give me the information I want and get the hell out of my life??

What are your thought?
