Death By Powerpoint
Posted by Stowe Boyd
I received a rather unclueful email today, touting a new online service:
Hi
As a journalist seeking knowledge experts, I am sure you will find this of interest. Today, Sonic Foundry launched the industry's first searchable Website of rich media expert presentations (www.mediasite.com). Complete with audio, video and rich presentation graphics, some of the business leaders, politicians and knowledge experts you'll find here include:
Jack Welch, Jeffrey Immelt, Michael Dell, Tom Ridge, Tommy Thompson, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Kerry and Scott McNealy, to name a few.
I am *not* really a journalists, and I am not seeking 'knowledge experts' -- at least I don't think I am. And the 'rich media expert presentations' look to be powerpoints. Millions and millions of powerpoints. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
Powerpoint, like email, is a place where knowledge goes to die.

Stowe,
I agree on PPT, the problem for me is that it's so dam easy to use. As a personal challenge, the presentation that I've built for my RSS idea has absolutely no bullets. This was much more difficult to accomplish than it would seem.
So, I'll add to your last statement to say that PowerPoint “bullets” are where knowledge goes to die.

No, blogs are more often where information goes to die. I'm confused about why you presume to be so arrogant about this site. Looks like there is some good stuff on it. Sound like yet another blogger wanting to say something controversial to drive attention to themselves.

Jeremy -
Oh, yes. You pegged me. I am just another linkwhore throwing around accusations to drive attention to myself.
I confess: I don't like the way that powerpoint structures discourse. There. I said it.
