Ban the bullet point button in PowerPoint

A link round-up of some smart PowerPoint philosophy for those of you who may be working on presentations. The take-away is the same as always: don’t be a sloth when you’re building your presentations. Set your donut down and get to work!

• A good starting point: [Bullet Points Kill (Effective Communication)] by Cliff Atkinson. (Note: this article doesn’t appear to exist anymore.)
• Seth Godin’s free e-book, Really Bad PowerPoint (and how to avoid it). (PDF)
• For the presentation-obsessed, Presentation Zen explores every angle of giving presentations. My favorite article is about the difference between presentation styles given by Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
