The typical PowerPoint presentation isn't very interesting. Walls of text or bullet points, with few visuals - it's no wonder audiences find it hard to pay attention. Your slides don't have to be this way, and it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to make them better. PowerPointLabs makes creating engaging PowerPoint presentations easy. Check out what it can do for you here: http://powerpointlabs.info
