When standing in front of customers or an audience of some kind its good to have some type of presentation tool to let them look at to emphasize what your saying. Its good in the "release some pressure on me by displaying good looking i

I have looked at two free (there is versions that cost money but in true Internet spirit I have looked at the free versions) presentations software (this is not a deep test, just a short information) as opposed to Powerpoint, Keynote.

Number 1 - Prezi - my new favourite
A zoom and pan presentation software where you build everything in one big image that you zoom and pan in. Quite amazing, easy to learn and capabilities that you need to do a fresh and stunning presentation in a new way.
Pro - new way to present everything in one big slide
Con - when jumping between different spots within the slide it can feel like I didnt know where I went in the image.

Number 2 - 280 Slides - good alternative
"Ordinary" slide presentation software. It knows what you need to do in a presentation in a good old fashion slide-by-slide way.
Pro - good old fashion slide-by-slide where the look and feel of the presentation is what most people are used to and uses.
Con - good old fashion slide by slide where the look and feel of the presentation is what most people are used to and uses.

Pro on both is that they are online, they come in free versions, they are capable and easy to use.

I think that it is depending on who you are going to do a presentation for (levelling) that should decide which software or technique to use but the two mentioned is really good and fun to use and whats really important is what you are presenting.
