In the introduction of the iPad Air 2 Apple presentation designers created a great example of using a simple visual to tell a complex story. Some people might use the excuse, “We use PowerPoint in my company and it’s not as elegant as Apple Keynote.” Maybe it’s the story—or a lack of one—that’s the problem! I asked Cory to re-create the Apple pencil slide a second time in PowerPoint. You can see it here. It’s simple and clean. Corporate America doesn’t have a PowerPoint problem; it has a storytelling problem. Learn to tell a story and use visual comparisons to bring the story alive....

..While Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google+ dominate the social landscape, Slideshare is a platform that I believe has a lot of benefits and is being underutilized by many companies.

Oren Jacob grew up in a family of storytellers. His parents were teachers who were constantly hosting family, friends, colleagues, passersby from around the world — each with their own story to tell. After spending 20 years at Pixar working on films that revolutionized visual media, he is now the co-founder and CEO of ToyTalk, an interactive entertainment company that enables kids to converse with and learn from animated characters. In fact, the company just released its second season of The Winston Show today. All of this work required continuous and creative pitching. At Pixar, it was about developing movie pitches for $100 million stamps of approval. And now, at ToyTalk, Jacob has helped raise over $16 million to make their groundbreaking vision a reality. In all of these situations, storytelling has been a crucial part of making pitches memorable and resonant. Whether you’re talking about your product or your company, Jacob recommends several specific storytelling tactics to both appeal to your audience for the first time, and to forge successful long-term relationships....

Better track down some compatible USB drivers and hope that they don’t explode in your face. Oh, you forgot to swap out the batteries with fresh ones? Hope you didn’t want to go past the third slide.
Presefy wants to kill off the uni-purpose remote control, instead pushing the responsibility of steering to your smartphone. But here’s the special twist: because it’s all done through the browser, no special drivers or apps are required. Here’s how it works...
