You may wonder what the situation was like a year ago. Well, last year a similar presentation was posted, I have embedded it below, and you can scroll slide by slide on each one to compare the data.
Some interesting observations:
- Presentations still average around 19 slides (the two above average 19 as well!)
- Japanese presentations on average are the longest (42 slides) and English are the shortest.
- More font variety: Arial and Times New Roman appear a bit less in 2010 vs. 2009.
- Software has been upgraded: Presentations prepared in Powerpoint 2007/2010 format (PPTX) are now 30% vs. 17% for the previous year.
- No noticeable increase in the number of Apple Keynote presentations, though it is used a lot to make the most liked presentations.
In looking back at the year that has just gone by, it’s also interesting to watch the Google Zeitgeist for 2010 presented in this video:
It’s practically a news summary for 2010. Have you searched for these terms too in the past year?
One more, how could I forget Facebook?
Here is a video of what was popular on Facebook in 2010:
If you are on Twitter (I am @slidecoach on Twitter, by the way), you can check out a site which reviews Twitter happenings in 2010.
p.s.
Zeitgeist means “the spirit of”.
