SlidesNow! released
is a new application that allows any Mac OS X user to deliver slides live on the Internet. It is designed to work with Apple's QuickTime Broadcaster to deliver both slides and live video in a single browser window to any cross-platform computer with both QuickTime and JavaScript enabled and without any plugins. SlidesNow! also includes a built-in chat board, enabling viewers to respond with questions and feedback to the presenter. "While QuickTime Broadcaster provides the best experience for the viewer, it is not a requirement to use SlidesNow! The presenter may use the chat board or a phone connection to communicate with viewers." SlidesNow! takes advantage of Mac OS X's ability to serve Web pages through Personal Web Sharing. It is available for $25. [pricing updated]
