How To Control The Delivery Of A Presentation Remotely: Shaker

Last week Lawrence Lessig sent out a request for a cheap and simple, cross-platform solution to control the delivery of a presentation remotely. The conversations that followed in the blog's comments section are a very interesting read, although no true 'killer' solution is provided yet. For a summary of the conversations read Robin Good's article How To Deliver A Mac Presentation To Distant Viewers? Lawrence Lessig Finds Out.

What makes the conversation worthwhile is the willingness and ingenuity of Lessig's readers to come up with a creative solution to a recurring problem. I decided to have a closer look at one of the suggestions, a Flash-based tool named Shaker that allows you to create Flash presentations.

Shaker is the product of a group of Hungarian web developers called Mimoza Communications. In 2003 their product was rewarded with the prestigious Technical Merit award at the FlashForward conference in New York. FlashForward is a major yearly event gathering thousands of Flash developers and designers.

The interesting part about Shaker is that it uses Flash template technology to facilitate the creation of Flash presentations. The choice of the Macromedia Flash technology makes Shaker truly cross-platform and browser independent.
