RSS To PowerPoint
RSS is becoming a highly pervasive information distribution channel in our rapidly expanding universe. Here is a new tool that allows PowerPoint presentations to easily integrate RSS feeds and news headlines. The Take-off RSS news reader from DataPoint gathers RSS news and sends them directly into a Mircosoft Access database. From there they can be easily pulled inside one or more presentation slides. Thus, you could have fresh and updated news feeds to show on your class opening presentation slide or you could display the latest relevant stock, or future prices for the very items that you have been covering in your presentation.
