Brainshark is working to let users upload Microsoft Word documents in addition to PowerPoint presentations. Even the demonstration at Brainshark's Web site sounds like a transmission from citizens band radio. It offers a wider range of products and services than Brainshark. Digital Lava's new HotFoot software and service competes directly with Brainshark and offers more features - but a more complex interface. This service lets users upload and broadcast live PowerPoint presentations.
Users access the presentation by visiting the Web site.
