Zenter is the gmail of slides
Zenter is an web based presentation app that promises to really take advantage of being online. Users will have the regular functionality of PowerPoint, but with the ability to directly add content from the web (Google Images). Each public slide show will also be put into a public library, for other users to remix or just drop into their show. Zenter was acquired by Google in June, 2007.
Zenter positions itself as a product that acts like the 'gmail of slides,' suggesting a streamlined, email-like experience for managing and sharing presentation slides. The branding implies simplicity, collaboration, and a focus on ease of communication around slide content.
Zenter provides a slide-based experience with an interface and workflow inspired by email-like productivity, emphasizing easy sharing and streamlined collaboration on presentations. The product enables viewing, sending, and possibly organizing slide decks with a focus on quick, familiar interactions typical of email users.
Who it’s for: Teams and individuals who create, share, and collaborate on presentations and decks and value a familiar, streamlined workflow.
