Google PowerPoint Clone Coming
Written by on Sunday, February 4th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Somebody took what appears to be a header file from an existing Google application and posted it as a document on Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
Based on some of the text in the document, the current code name of the presentation application is “Presently,” a play on the original Docs & Spreadsheets application, an online word processor called Writely that was acquired by Google in 2006 and later renamed.
We found this originally on Google Operating System and then made a quick copy of the Docs & Spreadsheets original file. During the time it took us to write this post the document was edited and all references to “presently” were removed. Just one reference to Google still remains. We’ve copied the entire document as we originally downloaded it to this page (”Presently”) for now. a total of 1,212 characters were redacted.
Some of the text that was in the original document is also copied below (all of this has now been removed, but the original file is here):
