As Arvind commented on the previous Zoho post, Zoho have just released their newest product. They fill the final whole they had in their office set, and release a slideshow tool: ZohoShow. And boy they have done a terrific job. It is like nothing I have seen before. It makes Writely look like a typewriter and puts Google Spreadsheets to shame on pure desktop feel and usability. But wait. They aren’t powerpoint products, lets be fair and compare like to like. How does it compare with ThumbStacks? It basically buries it.

Now I will be the first to admit that they have probably taken a lot of Thumbstacks in the producing of this tool. The Flickr integration idea for images is very similar, as is the overall UI. But ZohoShow beats ThumbStacks for the overall implementation. It is much slicker, and much more desktopy. I actually feel that it may be easier to make slideshows using this tool that in Powerpoint. I think that speaks volumes.

If you want to give it a quick feel then there is a demo account so you can try it in one click, or you can fill out four fields and register for an account. I would seriously urge you to. But say you are even lazier than that. Just click here to check the very quick presentation I made about the service. Thank you very much Zoho, you continue to raise the bar in the very competitive word of web office. Things are getting better and better.
