Prezi - 1 views

  •  
    * Prezi provides an innovative method of creating presentations based on building concepts rather than based on slides. This site is extremely good for showing connections between concepts and stories. It is embeddable and well suited for use in web based presentations. Slide based presentation tools like Slideshare and Google Presentation are merely adaptations of mid 20th century slide projectors.
