Facebook For Presenters: 10 Must Have Applications
If you hadn't already noticed Facebook is no longer something that your kids do, and has transformed itself into the essential sign-up of the year. Having a Facebook presence can help you out in all kinds of ways, and if you'd like an introduction to what the buzz is all about out, you could check out my recent introductory article over at Master New Media.
Once that has hopefully convinced you that Facebook is a must-have, quintessential disruptive technology you might want to start thinking about how you can use it in connection to presentations.
Core to the success of Facebook has been its ability to draw on a pool of literally hundreds of third-party applications. In this brief introduction I take you through ten great apps that you can bring to your Facebook profile to make a real impact with your online presentations.
Here are the details:
- FlipFrames
The FlipFrames application allows you to add frames, captions and speech bubbles to your existing Facebook photo albums, giving you the potential to turn your image collection into annotated slides in a presentation
- Vuvox
The Vuvox application lets you create rich multimedia presentations from your online photos and videos, including your Facebook photos. It also features the ability to syndicate live feeds of media and features extensive customization options
- Mixercast
The Mixercast app lets you mash-up, remix and share all your favorite media – videos, music, photos, RSS, graphics, maps and voice. Mixercast automatically creates killer mash-ups with your Facebook photos.
- Splashcast
The Splashcast application lets you easily create a personal media channel mixing videos, music, photos, and podcasts into great looking presentations
- Picassa Album Slideshows
The Picassa Album Slideshows app makes it easy for you to embed slide shows created in Google's popular photo sharing site within your Facebook profile
- Scrapblog
The Scrapblog app lets you create multimedia slideshows with music, transitions and hundreds of unique design elements, embedding the results into your Facebook profile via an interactive slide show tool
- Flipbook
The Photo Flipbook is an application on the Facebook Platform that allows users to interact with online photos in a cool new way. Instead of grouping pictures on a single page, the Photo Flipbook takes existing photo albums and displays them as if they are in a book. You can show the photo's caption, change the background and flip through each interactive album by clicking and dragging the corner of each page.
- Lunapic Photo Editor
Lunapic Photo Editor allows you to edit your photos with the click of a button, giving you the chance to prepare and alter your slides right from Facebook. Effects and features include: Cut, crop, rotate, sharpen, blend and cool animation effects.
- RockYou! Slide Shows
The RockYou! Slide Show App is another great way of putting together Facebook slidewshows with a vast range of customization options available.
- Slide
The Slide slide show app also features a comprehensive set of features that include music, skins, themes, and styles for making great looking presentations
So now you have no excuse for not making your presentations a profoundly social, networked affair!
