Internet search engine giant Google has created a tool that lets users create simple, web-based presentations.
Coming as part of Google Docs, which includes word processing and spreadsheet features, the new presentation capability has been widely seen as a competitor with Microsoft’s popular PowerPoint tool.
The presentations service in Google Docs allows more than one user to view the slides while a moderator controls the presentation.
Google has reminded users, however, that the tool is still in ’simple, early stages’ and will change as time goes on.
‘Putting documents in the cloud surrounded by easy to use features for collaboration and sharing can save people hours of inefficiency and frustration and even enable new ways of working together,’ commented Sam Schillace, director of engineering for Google Docs.
The search engine also announced this week that it is launching its AdSense service, which displays targeted ads on websites, for publishers with websites developed specifically for mobile phones.
