With the ability for a presenter to invite participants and remotely control the flow of slides, here is a free alternative to expensive services such as WebEx. It won’t allow you to share a screen, but if all you want is to publish or broadcast a simple presentation with limited graphics and no animations — which no presenter should use anyway in my humble opinion, Thumbstacks does the job without requiring participants to install any kind of plugin on their web browsers. The presentation builder is effective, even though I would love to get support for hyperlinks and the much-beloved Trebuchet MS font that seems to be a staple for any Web 2.0 application. I built this simple presentation as a proof concept. [...] […] Thumbstacks is exactly what I wished for in this past article.

Looks pretty promising, but I have not heard much about it yet. I came across Thumbstacks about a week ago.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that several companies are working on it and the challenge is an order of magnitude simpler than developing a working spreadhseet editor in AJAX, therefore I would expect this bug to be fixed sometime in the first half of 2006.
