When I went to the first BarCampLA last year, I stayed with Jason Roberts, one of the co-organizers. He showed me a project he’d quit his dayjob to pursue called Preezo, essentially an AJAX-powered online version of PowerPoint.
Though I encouraged him to open up his beta as a soon as possible, his timing around Office 2.0 might really pay off as he’s gotten some good TechCrunch juice today. What with Google’s Docs & Spreadsheets giving Microsoft a run for its money, will Preezo be the first BarCamp-related acquired by Teh GOOG?

Chris,
Thanks for the post! Yeah, I would have released Preezo back in March if I could have, but it just wasn’t even close to being ready. Amazingly enough though it looks like we’re just about there and the fact that Preezo got TechCrunched the day after the Google Docs announcement was obviously pure coincidence. I don’t know if timing is everything, but it sure can’t hurt and I’ll take whatever I can get. Wish us luck and I’ll see you at BarCampLA!
