Never mix powerpoint and live web demonstration

I gave a presentation on Web 2.0 this afternoon. The session was recorded and the software combines the video of the presentation with the powerpoint live. I do not particularly like to use powerpoints and I felt constrained. I needed to flick over to Firefox to demonstate blogs, wikis, flickr and the like. It was disjointed somewhat. I was not too happy at the end. The feedback was okay. I guess my enthusiasm managed to help mask some of the perceived anomalies at my end.

One thing was particularly bad. Swicki results now have sponsored links and they are not intuitive like Googles adverts and some of the sponsored links were appalling. I am going to investigate this further.
