"Web-based presentation software Prezi is bringing its own twist to presentation collaboration with the launch of Prezi Meeting.\nPrezi, launched in May 2008, ditches the traditional slide format for presentations in favor of a storyboard format where the presenter zooms in and out of the \"big picture\" to deliver key presentation points through swift animations.\nPrezi Meeting, which launches today, brings real-time collaboration to the Prezi platform.  Once collaborators have been invited to work on a presentation, the team can update different parts of the storyboard \u2014 pictures, text, images, videos, etc. \u2014 while watching collaborators add their own content to the presentation.\nPresentation collaboration tools aren't anything new \u2014 Adobe's Acrobat.com has it and Microsoft Office 2010 comes with a strong set of co-working features.  The interface is what makes Prezi Meeting unique, though; participants appear as cute avatars in the focus area they are editing.  Up to ten presenters can break down, rearrange and build presentation storyboards.  The real-time aspect makes it so that remote team members can see changes as they happen.\nPrezi Meeting is available for free to all Prezi users, but for private presentations and access to Prezi Desktop, users have to pay a monthly fee.  The company has raised funding from Sunstone Capital and The Sapling Foundation, the owners of the TED conference.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
