Ivan,

Hehe. Yup, I tried Teqlo too, and couldn't work it. Apparently what's live now is a "technology preview", and not the complete product. But. I don't think they will target the consumer market anyway.

Ivan Pope tells it like it is! Things like RSS have barely penetrated the mainstream conciousness - I can't imagine many people outside of the uber-geek demographic making use of something like teqlo.

Me too! I've been wishing for something like Spresent for an age! If it lives up to its promise this will soothe a real pain point.

Spresent - Spresent sounds great - But Doggoneit put the right link up, it is also linking to big contacts

but getting back to the point...it sounds REALLY exciting -

PowerPoint has SO-O-O much potential to be more engaging - but because of the corporate users environment, just is not being developed to its fullest multimedia potential

Teqlo: 'It aims to provide a way for non-tech savvy people to create customized solutions'
Here's a challenge - find three non-tech savvy people, point them at the Teqlo site and ask them to produce something that does something interesting. Anything. If any of them do, you can go on repeating the Teqlo story that it makes it easy for non-tech people to do stuff. Otherwise, tell it as it is. I've been around this stuff for almost twenty years and by god, it makes no sense to me ...
