Description:

Many of the 'hip' presenters these days, have powerpoint presentations that are simply a series of photos, with one or two words thrown up on the slides.  Now they're not random photos like at Powerpoint KTV, but something built off an actual outline.

The idea is this, you put together an outline for a presentation.  Maybe 20 slides, each with a few words of what you'll be talking about.  Copy and paste those into this service which then performs a Creative Commons image search on google, flickr, or other services to pull in your photos - automatically choosing the first photo that comes up for each and saving it to a google doc presentation or pdf.

Then you basically have an instant powerpoint presentation that usages images to tell your story and still fills your 'hip' factor!

Where did the name come from?

At first I was calling it Instant PowerPoint.  And that made me think of Ramen noodles (see naming conventions of SuperHappy Chicken!) So from there I figured why not just call it PowerPoint Ramen :)
