  • The Last Mile of the Internet
  • NAT/Firewall issue makes any async messaging based approach useless for clients
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Polling sucks. We think a decentralized pubsub layer is a fundamental, missing layer in the Internet architecture today
  • a fundamental design that looks like this: This picture leaves out multiple publishers and subscribers and the subscriber registration process, but you get the basic idea
  • fine for server subscribers (like, say Google Reader) but not for client subscribers (like, say TweetDeck).
  • the only way to enable client subscribers to play in this async messaging world is via some type of relay service
  • In this approach, the client subscriber makes an outbound connection to some type of relay infrastructure
  • technically feasible
  • Yes, having to relay messages sucks. But the question is
  • which sucks worse: polling or relaying?

Prezi For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies - 0 views

    • Diana Gardner
       
      Amy, I would use keepvid to download YouTube videos; save them as FLV files and upload to Prezi.  That way, you don't have to depend on Internet to play your video.
  • Prezi has a Path tool that you use to set up and follow your storyline. Specifically, the tool helps you set up Path numbers that move your presentation from element to element regardless of proximity
  • In addition, with a set Path you can send your Prezi to be viewed without a presenter and be assured it will be seen as you planned it.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Click the Path bubble from the Prezi menu
  • Three smaller bubbles — 1-2-3 Add, Capture View, and Delete All — open.
  • o set up your path, click the 1-2-3-Add bubble. To start the path, click on the text or graphic you want to show first. It might be the title you created. Once you click it, the number 1 appears in a circle on top of the element you clicked. This represents the first area of the screen that will be shown.
  • To set up the next area you want it to move to, click on that object. A circle with a 2 in it is placed on top of that area, and a line connects you from number 1 to number 2 so you can follow it. Continue clicking on objects until you have the path set up the way you want
  • If you want the view to be the center of a grouping of objects, click the center of the Frame.
  • Prezi has two different modes of operation: Edit Mode, in which you create your presentation, and Show Mode, in which you present your creations.
  • Full Screen Mode To accommodate a projector or for wider screen viewing.
  • Timing Intervals This allows you to set specific amounts of time for each screen to be seen. There are settings for 4, 10 and 20 secon
