PowerPoint is going viral on Twitter! No really, the delight of delivering a blockbuster slideshow, the stress of making an in-house presentation, the anger of sitting through a horrifying presentation...it’s all spilling out on Twitter. Just enter the keyword “PowerPoint” in the Twitter search box and you’ll find yourself thoroughly entertained for hours.
More than entertaining, the Twitter feed was a revelation for me. Never knew PowerPoint was such a leveller: school kids to top level CEOs, students to professors, kids to their parents are tweeting endlessly about their love-hate relationship with PowerPoint. Here’s a peek into what the Twitter folks are raving and ranting about their beloved PowerPoint (some will leave you laughing your head off while others shaking your head in disbelief). Time to have some PowerPoint fun!
