A very nice summary of all the points you need to think about when preparing a conference presentation. "Because “imagine everyone's naked” is terrible advice."

Pics.io is free online 32-bit basic photo editor that works also with very large images. It runs in your browser, is fast and you can see edits and adjustments in real time.

You can open any .jpg, .bmp and .png image and save your edited work in .png.

Key strengths for Pics.io are speed, extreme ease of use, and a thin command set useful for all basic image editing work.

Evver is a free web app which allows you to create music slideshows with extreme ease. You simply select your favorite pictures (from 10 to 100), you pick up a song, among the available soundtracks, and the rest is automatically done for you.

You can re-arrange the order in which the photos will be shown in the final video and delete the ones that you don't want to use and you are set to go.

Evver edits your pics in sync with the music and creates a music video that can be easily shared on any social media or embedded to your site or blog.

My comment: Very, very easy to use. The selection of music tracks that you can use is presently very limited. The final result is good, but - as you can see from my sample - not as good as it could be.

Recordit.co is a new app for the Mac that allows you to easily record any screen action and to share it instantly with anyone.

Recordit is a super-simplified screencasting tool, that takes away any possible complexity or technical issues from recording screen actions.

This tool is ideal to share or report a bug you encounter in a certain app or to show where to click and what to choose to someone unfamiliar with a certain online service.

Free to use.

Download it now: http://recordit.co/ 

N.B.: It requires Mac OSX 10.9

A really quick tool for the Mac, but can do the same with Quicktime. Not sure if my firewall is preventing this from running. Recorded 5 seconds of footage from 1/4 of my screen on my MacBook Pro and has been cycling for about 5 minutes. Personally I pay the money and use ScreenFlow, which also allows webcam and microphone input together with screen casting and computer sound. Once finished recording the Screenflow editor pops up to allow you to adjust any of the shot.

Just on Mac!!

The Data Visualisation Catalogue is an on-going project developed by Severino Ribecca which attempts to index and catalogue all of the data visualization approaches available, in order to help journalists, designers and professional communicators identify more easily the type of data visualization most appropriate for their needs.

.

In the Catalogue there are now over 50 different data visualization approaches that have been identified, and about a third of them have also been documented with a basic description, visual examples, relevant tags to associate it with their possibe best uses, variations, and with a list of alternative tools available to create that type of data chart.

.

You can browse the catalogue also by using the "Search by Function" which is designed to aid in choosing the appropiate data visualization approach based on the specific communication need at hand, or with the "View by List" approach, which organizes dataviz methods by types.

Hat Tip to @LelioSimi

A great collection of data visualisation tools, categorised by the characteristics of the data you want to show.

Rappresentare: raccontare la realtà in modo tale da attrarre in modo efficace l'attenzione del nostro interlocutore/lettore. In una società iperconnessa e dialogica, fondamentale competenza.
