Apparently I missed the news in June that Google has acquired Zenter. I was curious what will happen to Zenter when Google announced that they will release a web based presentation software back in April. I'm glad things worked out for Zenter. I know the amount wasn't disclosed but are there any rumors about what the amount might have been?
I'll take a guess, just for fun.... maybe 5 to 10 million, since they were acquired 6 months in and without a public version-1 out
Writely. Presently. Get it?
PS: That name has been in the works since, as far as I can tell, Writely was acquired.

If SVG had taken off in all browsers by now, PowerPoint would be toast.
There are pretty good competitors in that field, My startup is one of those :P.
I will post a link in a couple of days to have some feedback from Y-Combinator readers.

Good luck. Zenter was pretty damned slick last time I saw it. With Googlebucks behind it, you've got an uphill battle ahead of you.
