Google's Slideshow of Interesting Things

Kilrah_il writes "Google's Creative Labs came out with a slideshow of interesting things on the web. In the slideshow you will find 'a lot of interesting HTML5 apps, iPhone apps, visualization tools, 3D projections, art projects, creative YouTube videos, crowdsourcing services and many other interesting things.' It's basically a collection of fascinating little projects people have made and then distributed to the internet at large. Guaranteed to ruin your productivity for today. You can view it with Google Docs."

Slideshow?

Whats wrong with a list?

Re:Slideshow?

With a list you can immediately pick out the things that seem interesting. I don't want to have to click to 120 pages to find 5 that interest me.

Quick, where's the "-1, Someone let a Manager loose on Slashdot" modding option? :D

All I can say is "Death by PowerPoint". That and "You can do good quality presentations in HTML or PDF, if you wanted - less is often more".

"That's good for you, but most people prefer a visual representation of the objects."

You've not worked in a corporation and sat through powerpoint presentations, you haven't, have you?

It worked fine for me right after Slashdot posted it.

Now when I try, Firefox wants me to download some sort of zero-byte file named "view" instead of show me a web page.

Which is cool: I didn't think it'd be possible to slashdot Google, but it seems to have happened.

Good job, folks! Keep up the good work.

Slashdotted - remember this moment

[maweki]

Take a deep sip of this feeling. The knowledge that we, slashdot, slashdotted Google. We will one day fondly look back at these heroic memories and tell this story proudly to our kids and grandkids.

And even if they do not believe us, when they say "grandpa, stop beeing silly", we will know it was true.

Or to quote someone a little more famous than me:
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
CmdrTaco, Anonymous Coward,
Scuttlemonkey and Jeff Bates,
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Slashdot's Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that clicks this link with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That clicked with us upon Slashdot's day.
