Myplick has a new home!

Two months have passed since myplick's initial alpha launch, I finally decided to temporarily drop all the fun programming I have been doing and start writing up a blog. Hopefully, this will become a place where we can communicate with our users, gather a lot of feedbacks and improve myplick to serve you better.

My name is Lei Jin. Along with Eric Xu, we are the two founders for http://www.myplick.com/ Since we are still in private beta stage with invitation-only sign up, I will briefly describe what our site does.

We are a site that allows people to share multimedia presentations and slideshows online. Unlike other photo/slide sharing sites like slide.com or photobucket, we allow you to upload your slides in PowerPoint, PDF, and a variety of other file formats. We then take care of converting your uploaded file into a plick that's optimized for viewing experience.

By now, you might be wondering what a plick is. Why did we pick this name? Plick is a play on the word flick, where p stands for presentation. Our goal is to make online presentation and slideshow viewing as fun as a flick. That's why we picked this name. Besides, you know how difficult it is to find a web site name that's short and easy to remember :)

Now, since we are about sharing multimedia presentations, we also allow you to upload an audio file to go along with your slides. People can hear music or your narration when viewing slides. You can even synchronize the slides and audio together using our synchronization tool. It's really fun and easy. I encourage everyone to try it out.

Ok, enough of me talking. Eric has made this nice plick that I have embedded below. It's called The top ten reasons to plick. Have fun.
