Another Great User Created Prezi Guide

We've posted about Palm Breeze Cafe, a Florida based television and vodcast show introducing and wowing about Prezi last week.

Now we've found another, absolutelly brilliant Prezi guide created by Russell Tarr of Activehistory.co.uk, a british educational site offering games, virtual interviews with influential history characters, online simulations, worksheets, and other methods of bringing world history alive in the school classroom.

This guide has been created in .pdf format, and introduces the first steps of building a presentation with Prezi. It also includes a step-by-step guide with screenshots, and clear definitions of different interface elements. We really liked it, thanks for the great work!

Prezi selected to attend important Silicon Valley showcase event

Prezi CEO Peter is in the US, and just sent electrifying news. It seems we are about to enter the lion's cave. The Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs (SVASE) just announced the names of the 30 companies invited to present new products at Launch: Silicon Valley 2009. We are happy to unveil that Prezi is among the lucky 30 out of more than 400 applicants.

Launch: Silicon Valley which will be held June 9 at the Microsoft Campus in Mountain View, is a platform for emerging technology companies to springboard their products or services into the market, while networking with an audience of Silicon Valley's most influential executives. It's also a must-attend event for potential investors, partners, press, bloggers, entrepreneurs and other Silicon Valley influencers who are searching for those exciting startups that may ultimately become the next great companies to emerge from the Valley. We are super excited about this!

Prezi will also have the opportunity to attend to the Pre-Launch: Silicon Valley Event Party on the evening of June 8, when we can network with the audience of Silicon Valley’s top movers and shakers.

...and I'm a Prezi

We just recieved this picture on Twitter. "No comment" is the proper company statement here, thanks for the funny comics Gridd, made our day!

Sound Reactive Prezi - Prototype

Being Prezi's official blogger I can easily sneak in to our secret labs, searching for cool new stuff our developers are currently working on. Passing a number of ID scanners I recently found a hidden chamber where Prezi CTO Peter Halacsy experimented with unknown dimensions: Here is a Prezi controlled by music!

This project is actually created in collaboration with VJ collective Binaura.net. The mind merging really pushes the limits of Prezi, as it gives new aspects to the tool. It goes far beyond the average use as a presentation software. Prezi dev. team is now in the beginning of a long process finding ways to bring the best of this technology. What do you think? Do you find the idea of music controlled Prezis interesting?

Prezi Education for Students

Our office manager, Andrea sent us the link of the best Prezi education video we have ever seen. (Actually we work in the same room all day, yet we usually communicate via Skype) Even veteran Prezi developers agree that we couldn' have created a better educational/introduction video for Prezi than the one seen on Palm Breeze CAFE, a weekly show in the School District of Palm Beach County US.  The educational show is hosted by Lee Keller and Kim Cavanaugh, it presents an informal look at technology in education, often as it applies to this school district. The show is aired online every Wednesday, locally many times each week, and features snippets for on demand viewing as well. Check out the second part of the video too!
