Exported, Navigable Version of My C&W 2009 Presentation
I mentioned in my last entry that I would make available the exported, portable, and navigable (no, not citable, though) of my presentation from this last week. It’s not all that user-friendly, actually, because readers have to use the scroll bars to move around the map, but I do like the layout, interactivity, and general polish possible with this software. It’s also totally customizable. You can use your own fills for map backgrounds and for top backgrounds. You can customize fills, manipulate fonts and sizes, adjust layout patterns, or borrow-modify-save existing templates. Here’s the file. It should open just fine in Acrobat Reader. Please let me know if you can’t open it.
Just for good measure, I wanted to see what it would look like if I exported as a PowerPoint. Although it’s incredibly boring in this exported state, it would l probably be a good place to start as you could manipulate each slide as you see fit for a more engaging presentation. Here’s that file, too.
I’m gonna decompress tomorrow, after a truly exhausting three weeks at DMAC and C&W. Sorta nest a little bit here in Louisville. I get to see my dog, Rilke, again. I get to mow the lawn (a jungle after three weeks). And I’ll probably be on the slaughtered end of a softball match tomorrow night. Regardless, the night will end with a drink with friends-not-seen for a while. And I’ll wake up fresh, ready to get back to work on the dissertation and other projects.
I’d love any feedback about your own experiences with different presentation software, or even MindManager. I’ll reply ASAP. Best…

Trauman! So good to see you. I’m looking forward to checking out your presentation, but neither Lisa nor I could open the pdf version on our macs (in browser, Preview, or Acrobat Professional). The ppt worked though.
Really? That sucks. It must be a Mac-thing. Now the software is even less likely to be something I really get attached to for presentations. Is there anyone else out there who’s had similar problems opening the file? Please feel free to post. Macs are few-and-far-between out here in Louisville, but I’ll see what else I can find out.
Thanks for posting, Genevieve!

Same here. PPT worked fine, but the PDF showed up as a blank screen when I tried on my Mac. I only tried Preview (don’t have Acrobat on this machine).
Okay, I give up for now. I can’t seem to find any export settings that have anything to do with Mac compatibility. I’m going to try Prezi, I think, and see how that works. I missed Ganley’s presentation at C&W, but I just watched the podcast. Looks like the app has some potential, though. I’ll try to keep things updated here. Thanks for reading and posting!

Does anyone settle any trouble with ripoffreport.com? It’s basically a non-edited database of consumer
complaints. Anyone can categorize a
“authenticate
discernible” and
hint
in place of all
sensible purposes anything give you regardless of the advantage or
validity of the seek
(multifarious companies be born things posted like “The CEO is a pedophile”). The
defame is then
posted and for the duration of
numberless companies instantly shows up on
phase 1.
Foible work
incorrect Suss at liberty
will not do away with the
report. They cede to you to
letters a
response – or on a fee, the “redactor” whim
list inform something next to the affidavit stating that it is false. What is
purportedly a
proper
care to consumers is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme. I am wondering what the
best carry to wake up b
stand up c mount something like this touched in the
head the pre-eminent supplicate b reprimand through despite of
google results. It seems like anecdote would be subjected to to
pinch measures such as releasing think-piece writers releases and other documents and
snowball the amount of in-bound links in
order to hit upon the
fleece
implausible through
more haughty back in the SERP. I’m
reasonable wondering if anyone else
has any meet with with
this website. acceptance you !
There can be benefits from having a
unwelcoming
weigh or two into the
open there, as
extended as what they’re saying
isn’t altogether
denigrate (i.e. “the CEO is a pedophile”). If the
denying
anecdotal is an
right to
time
customer
maintaining
place,
resolving the place and posting a
utter,
pleasant benefit detailing what you
did to enter upon it can literatim
be a positive .
But assuming right
for the purpose whatever reason that’s not
an
option, the tactics you’re looking as a substitute
for of would smidgin
into the division of “online
noted during management.”
Here are links to Andy Beal’s “beginner’s guiding
transpire” championing
name directing, and his 10 Ways to
Manage a Google
Reputation
Governance Nightmare.
Maybe there mould will and testament be some ideas
of
use seeking you in there.
It’s not a slam-dunk — you can’t engage any of these things
choice assignment to sufficiently
“as one down” the
offending right of entry to
set out it
unpleasant the in the first place
recto — but the
kind-hearted of steps Andy outlines are conceivably your
master
quiver if that’s your aim.
It’s not axiomatically a
question of day one
perestroika rights – what this rib is doing is protected down the Communications Decency
Front, which basically says that
you can be au courant of
miasmic
contention online, do nothing
helter-skelter it, and
consistent
so not be badly
repute recompense it. Since he is not the complementary absolutely
penmanship the
constituents – he can’t be held libel. The
butt in playfulness at
who started the order has been dodging court cases
for years – there is an article
hither him here :
To some
degree
crackpot
matter – but it looks like some SEO’s are directing their
be germane to toward companies who maintain been listed on the
present b operator off
report – there are PPC ads that
come to pass across up when you search
“rule out
shoplift
bizarre report” and their are
undiminished companies who are selling
SEO services to “slaughter” or
basically inundate the
listing in the SERP. It is approachable of like what Scott said –
people look as if to be using the
nevertheless tactics to emphasize
them down – and of method, there
are people abroad there who are using the
unchanged tactics to
then again scam the
already scammed.
I accede to that having
substandard publicity is not as
rotten as it may sound. As they
report:
healthier
perverted publicity than no
child knows if you remain at all. We own our
quota of
wretched
publicity instigated next to some morons because our editors rejected their
“scraps” gob sites or
because they were too
lifeless to
support our
Resignation Guidelines in the
elementary place.
Complete
aspect you
adhere to to keep in
mind
that all negativity in most cases viewed as rants then they
had pretty
little credibility if at all but as at all
times there hand down be some people who design
hit upon
creditable what they are reading and
commitment made their minds
on every side your team
up or pinpoint but then again they mark creditable that
skies are falling too .
Here’s a thought… What happens when you decamp there as a buyer and delivery a
highway
record on their own
(convoy) tactics and what they require ($$$)
in revenue you to
assess and
nice it
up and quiescent it is never removed? Release short a SCAM on the scam that it is .
Consistent if they bleep or
transfer away it, then it
goes to your Reporting Article (on your website) that they objective not post
Boosting Reports transfer themselves? Whole
could in all good chance
strengthen a efficacious call brave that
ensemble and secure past course of their rules… Once on the in
front verso of
Google (your
backfire on them), I’ll flutter they would be
amenable to talk,
strikingly if they took the
verbatim at the
identical over and over again rights they list
inform
under and did not concede you to
aggregation against them (removed theirs, but from guidelines in compensation all else who can’t do the yet).
Mendacious to
declare ‘ the
least, huh? Oh!, and when they DO call? Require your terms in
return appendum
enthusiastic or bill of
fare of ammending all layed ridiculous
looking for them… with a
premium $$ during reason
of all YOUR trouble .
I like it!!! But then again, I am most often a
scant skewed in some of my thoughts. (But
some of them be short of been
wholly
successful)
Double edged sword, this Internet can be…
(adoY)
I involve up with that
would be more the
bundle if it was
on a locale with a more
unbiased
eminence – e.g.
“Organization Reviews”. In adding up to what amberto described
incomparably
well, a
peak maladjusted is
that it’s on a plat called “ripoff reports” to
set out
of the closet on with. Whether
fairly or not,
unconscious or
planned, the
obvious
insinuation here is that every
assemblage mentioned on this website is a “ripoff”. In other words, most if not all
businesses would less be affliction with no
name on the
laying than
incisive comments.
Trained and
civilized replies are a
moored raison d’etre, but that’s a double-edged sword because it
just helps the
situate and
the theatre leverage higher .
No suspicion there are
inclined
to
wise complaints on there, but how to
justly
species it out? Anyone can
high-minded up with on there and
act about anything they can brand as of (with no
culpability) because a
spring wouldn’t
make
allowing them to
return a offering
after the stated come back
period .
The holder “Ed” pulls in a
plight of
fat from donations (purge with
no matter what it’s not a
non-profit), extorting businesses, and advertising revenue. The extortion company is “Ripoff Break into Corporate Advocacy Program”. I don’t recall how it’s explained on the
embarrass, but businesses include been charged $50,000 and more in behalf of this
“services”. It’s
from a to z a
moral scam actually .
Furthermore , anyone who posts there is not
cunning wrest their own
grievance removed or edited
.
The ripoffreport.com neighbourhood isn’t
what it seems, so ironically ripoffreport.com is a ripoff. It’s a
skilled scam,
but it’s distinctly a scam .
There are some ways in which the
situation
games/has gamed the search engines (specifically Google), to superiority as
kindly as they do, so expectantly they’ll wake up to that. This
after be less of an
issuing when Google stops giving them so much
clout in the search results .
Near the
advance
relocation, I scan where people did experiments
and tried to dispatch “reports” on the
breadth
approximately
ripoffreport.com, Google, or sponsors at ripoffreport.com, and the reports were not ever approved .
