Don't have PowerPoint?

So I know finals are in a few days but I just learned of a website that is very similar to PowerPoint in its presentation but it is way more flexible than PP. It made me think that it was a perfect tool for electronic literature and I wish I had found this before creating my final project.
I'm more than sure Dr. Whalen mentioned this website once but I completely forgot about it. So if anyone is scrambling and still checking the blogs, I suggest using this program if you don't have PowerPoint and want a visual aid.
Prezi!

Prezi's nice because it lets you get out of the whole image-image-image-text-image-text paradigm of powerpoint, and it gives you the chance to explore different visual and kinetic metaphors.
And also the editor is pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it.
But I think you're right on when you allude to its potential for writing fiction or other avenues of creative expression. It could be really fun to see a hypertext poem, for example, built with Prezi.
