I am evangelizing the 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint.

Slide decks are a powerful way to back up any type of presentation from team meetings and sales pitches to conference keynotes and workshops. We've all seen presentations with poor design that takes away from talks, and at worse, completely distracts the intended audience. However, most presenters aren't graphic designers. Slide decks can be frustrating to build, and great slide decks help communicate what an audience needs to hear.

Most 16-year-olds are focused on sports or cars or maybe even the SATs. For Tyler Millis and Arjit Kansal, two teens from Fort Meyers, Florida and New Delhi, India, respectively, their passion is PowerPoint. Yep, you read that right: PowerPoint. The two 16-year-olds beat out 400,000 candidates from 130 countries to be named Microsoft Office Specialist World Champions— Millis in PowerPoint 2007, and Kansal in PowerPoint 2010. The 13th annual competition, sponsored by Certiport, holds a series of tests and interviews for students to show off their knowledge of Microsoft Office products.

Nice info. I write for an MLM magazine and I'm going to spin this as a series. MLM'ers typically sit back and let their companies do everything for them (i.e. on the manner of tools). But in fact, most MLM company's tools suck BIG time.
They talk a lot about being hi-tech but very few are in the marketing sense. The big money earners are the ones who are pro-active and build their own systems. This info is stuff they could use. Most of them have no idea the incredible bounty of free-stuff that's out there.

That said, PowerPoint isn't exactly free, and I suspect most seasoned users would agree it hasn't evolved much over the years. What if you want to integrate, say, a live Twitter feed in your presentation, or move beyond static slides? Good news: There are plenty of PowerPoint alternatives, some of them free, some of them capable of adding considerably more pizzazz to your materials. In addition to the obvious PowerPoint clones -- Google Docs, OpenOffice Impress, Zoho Show and so on -- make sure to check out these three free outliers...

PowerPoint is a handy program that can bring out the best and worst in information delivery: for every presentation that’s interesting and wow-worthy, there’s one (or maybe 10) that’s miserably unbearable.

Now that content marketing has gone mainstream, the average stuff isn’t really going to work any more. We all need to be aiming higher, to create the ‘home run’ pieces that really drive successful programs. So what makes for a ‘home run’ piece?
