Now we have a PowerPoint alternative

I remember Richard MacManus of ZDNet saying there are no credible alternatives to PowerPoint on the web yet. That might change with Thumbstacks. Its sample presentation explains that it does not yet have the bells and whistles of PowerPoint, but anyone working a lot with PowerPoint knows those are actually distractions they would rather avoid. Most important is the ease of creating a presentation that delivers its message well and the ease of sharing it with other people (without any nasty surprises), and Thumbstacks could deliver just that. I can imagine its tie-up with Writely, that could really be something.
