Trends of 2009
03 years ago
The year has more or less come to an end. It has been a very exciting year for me, as I have been working with projects like accessability, web standards and Internet trends. So let me dedicate one of this years’ last blog updates to the trends that I think we will see appearing next year.
And yes, you can comment on this blog now in 2008 and come back to it in 2010, and then criticize me for all the wrong predictions that I made.

Slideshare Ribbon for Powerpoint released
1
I love some of the Web 2.0 ideas, Xobni and Slideshare, and how they have managed to combine desktop and cloud computing. Their add-ons to Microsoft Office applications, Outlook and Powerpoint, are simply brilliant.
I am a frequent reader of WebWorkerDaily, and today I read for the first time about the Slideshare ribbon for Powerpoint 2007 (no, I don’t think it is backwards compatible with Powerpoint 2003!). Perhaps it’s time to introduce Slideshare to my scientific staff at work. I am to hold some lectures on Web 2.0 and the use of wiki again next semester and will open my own Slideshare account then.
According to the dev pages over at Slideshare, the SlideShare Ribbon for PowerPoint 2007 lets you use most features of SlideShare from within PowerPoint. You can download and upload files, search, view usage metrics for presentations, and lots more. Impressive!
I already had installed the .NET 3.5 SP1 (was required for both after Paint .Net and Live Writer, as I am running Vista’s SP2 Public Beta). The .NET update is currently not available through Windows Update, but you should get the ribbon installed in a matter of a minute or two!
