Powerpoint is next to go down
In an announcement yesterday Google started the talks of releasing Presentation, a PowerPoint look alike for presenting information, the difference, this program is Web based.
Google, who started challenging Microsoft early last year, is seeking the demise of the Microsoft Office Suite of Products one by one, first with its widely used Gmail mail client, followed by words, spreadsheets, and now looking to lure the business community with Presentations.
This company is hitting the mark picking up where others, like Microsoft, have fallen behind, taking advantage of their powerful Web presence and resources.
Describing the 'Presentations' software yesterday at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco Google Chairman and Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said that the application will allow users to create and share business presentations over the web. Schmidt used a beta version of this new app to present his presentation slides.
The bigger question at hand is how is the company going to generate revenue from this product since it obviously cannot fill it up with their greatest revenue generator, adsense. Well, they seem to have now start to break off the freeware space as during the product demo, it was also announced that the Presentation software will come in two versions, of which “Premier” version with extra storage would retail for $50 per year. The product is expected to be available this summer.
The bottom line is that although adsense has given the Search Engine Powerhouse a lot of income and they have been able to translate and transplant the text ad model across many of its platforms, we can clearly see that the click fraud cases brought upon Google have taken a told and they have seen the light with the announcement of a charge for this product. What next, a Googal of email storage space for $5?Labels: advertising, Google, Search Engine, software
