Making Sharing PowerPoint Presentations Less Painful

There are three major headaches with PowerPoint:
1 – Web conference sharing often takes a quarter of the meeting to just get it setup.
2 – If you are in the office, you can waste a lot of time trying to find a project, get it configured, focused
3 – If you present at a conference, too often we find ourselves bound to the podium because even if you have a clicker, it doesn't always synch, or you have to use the PC provided and the clicker can't connect, etc Over the weekend via TechCrunch I believe I have discovered the solution to all three headaches- MightyMeeting. Here is what MightyMeeting does. You upload your PPT to MightMeeting. You then invite people to watch the presentation via email. They have 2 ways to view the presentation – via Web (which is basically a secure flash app) or mobile (currently IPhone/itouch or Android). Then as you advance the slides, their slides advance. I gave it a try yesterday in the office and it was pretty slick. In particular what I'm thinking is that for something like OOW – I will use the web client to project on the screen and use the iPhone to drive the deck. That way I can get into the audience and make a better connection.
