PowerPoint presentations are so two-thousand-and-late. Using Prezi you’ll be able to create online presentations in a diagram format, as opposed to slide-show presentations. Creating a prezi is no more difficult than a PowerPoint slide show, with lots of videos to guide you through the process.
You can add your text, images, PDF files as well as movies via an easy-to-use interface, with the end result looking much cooler than Death-by-PowerPoint.

Even Eminem needs assistance to go the rhyming distance, and this no-frills site offers words that rhyme with the ones you type in. You can set it to spit out words that rhyme with the first- or last syllable of the word you type in, or offer you a double rhyme, for instance conviction and prediction.
For those more street-wise than book-smart, definitions of the suggested words are provided via the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.
