Despite slow sales, the two well regarded three-row crossovers have made the Consumer Reports short list. The consumer advocacy magazine ranked the top 17 three row crossovers on the market, and the Flex and CX-9 cracked the top five for the first time. The Flex was lauded for its quality interior, roominess, unique style, and the SYNC system, while the CX-9 was given kudos for driving dynamics, steering, transmission and interior flexibility. The two models teamed up to boot the perennial top five a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/15/first-drive-2009-honda-pilot/"Honda Pilot/a, which even fell out of the top 10 in spite of a thorough redesign this year.br /br /The big winner in the CR SUV rankings was the Toyota Highlander. The hybrid version finished with the top overall score of 86, and the standard model received a good-for-second-place 81. The Acura MDX came in third with 80 points.

The Consumer Report SUV rankings will appear in its November issue, which should be hitting store shelves just about now.br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/"In the Autoblog Garage: 2009 Ford Flex/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/927996/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/ford-flex128013_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/927995/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/ford-flex128012_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/927993/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/ford-flex128010_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/927990/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/ford-flex128006_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-flex-autoblog-garage/927982/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/ford-flex128001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/"Autoblog Garage: 2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/967773/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/08mazda_cx9_cjt---01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/967774/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/08mazda_cx9_cjt---02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/967800/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/08mazda_cx9_cjt---03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/967789/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/08mazda_cx9_cjt---04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblog-garage-2008-mazda-cx-9-grand-touring/967798/"img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/08mazda_cx9_cjt---05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20081007/BUSINESS01/810070337/1014"Free Press/a]h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"/h6a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/07/consumer-reports-rates-three-row-suvs-flex-and-cx-9-in-top-five/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"Permalink/anbsp;|nbsp;a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1335154/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"Email this/anbsp;|nbsp;a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/07/consumer-reports-rates-three-row-suvs-flex-and-cx-9-in-top-five/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"Comments/a pa href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~a/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=TTTvaA"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~a/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=TTTvaA" border="0"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=MJyhm"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=MJyhm" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?a=t5exm"img src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~f/weblogsinc/autoblog?i=t5exm" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~r/weblogsinc/autoblog/~4/413877146" height="1" width="1"/

Slideshows 2.0

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/slideshow.jpg"When it comes to presentations, typical slideshows have gotten a bad reputation for being dry and boring. That doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Thanks to Web 2.0 tools and applications, you can bring pizzazz to your presentations like never before. Whether you're looking for an "un-slideshow" altogether or just looking to add a little kick to the boring charts and graphs in your PowerPoint, you can find something here that fits your needs as we introduce you to Slideshows 2.0./p . p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12091amp;cb=12091' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12091amp;n=12091' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p pThere are tons of slideshow apps designed for sharing your photos on social networks and blogs. For example, a href="http://www.slide.com"Slide/a, a href="http://www.rockyou.com"Rock You/a, a href="http://www.filmloop.com"FilmLoop/a, and a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/flickr_releases_handy_embeddab.php"Flickr's new slideshow tool/a come to mind. While those are great for casual use, they're designed for blogs and profiles, not the boardroom. However, there are plenty of apps out there that let you get creative even when you're presenting for your business colleagues./p h21) Jazz Up Your PowerPoint/h2 pJust because you're stuck using PowerPoint, that doesn't mean your slideshow has to be boring. Get a professional template, read a href="http://www.amazon.com/slide-ology-Science-Creating-Presentations/dp/0596522347/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8amp;s=booksamp;qid=1214078752amp;sr=8-1"Slide:ology/a, then choose one or more of the following plugins to add something unique: a href="http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm"LiveWeb/a to surf the net from within the PowerPoint, the a href="http://www.officelabs.com/projects/pptPlex/Pages/default.aspx"Office Labs/a a href="http://on10.net/blogs/sarahintampa/pptPlex-From-Office-Labs/"pptPlex addin/a which makes PowerPoints deem-zoomable, the a href="http://on10.net/blogs/sarahintampa/Cooliris-Plugin-For-PowerPoint/"Cooliris plugin/a which makes slideshows 3D just like their browser plugin does, or a href="http://on10.net/blogs/sarahintampa/Make-Engaging-Digital-Presentations-With-Freepath/"Freepath/a, which lets you mashup your slideshows with other web content. /p pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/cooliris_powerpoint.jpg" / /p h22) SlideRocket/h2 pa href="http://www.sliderocket.com/"SlideRocket/a is an online presentation app built on Adobe's Flex platform. Like any presentation app, SlideRocket offers powerful slide and presentation authoring tools, transitions, image and video manipulations and animations, and charting and table creation. You can even import your PowerPoint slides to get started. However, SlideRocket also offers some unique features like the ability to import your own fonts, a plugin architecture that will allow third-parties to create their own transitions and effects, and an offline Adobe AIR-based player.

With WebSlides, you can turn your bookmarks or feeds into interactive web content. The application works with their bookmarking tool to automatically allow the creation of slideshows from a list of your bookmarks.

These links can be shared with others via one URL provided to you by the service. One of the options for viewing the links is to view them as a slideshow. Those you share the URL with can view the slideshow with you, access it later, get any changes made to it by RSS, leave comments and suggest additional links.You can set the resulting slideshow to public or private or even password protect it. However, for use in presentations, you could simply play the slideshow of web content.

However, Flowgram isn't limited to web content alone. You can actually mix together web pages, RSS feeds, photos, audio, custom pages, and Office documents including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDFs. The resulting Flowgram runs as a sure-to-please Flash-based application that's ready for embedding on the company's intranet site later on as further proof of your media mastery. In a way, Flowgram is a lot like the oddly-named a href="http://www.myjugaad.in/"MyJugaad.in/a, which allows for slideshows of web pages, videos, and images sourced from a href="http://myjugaad.in/browse/delicious_popular"Delicious/a, a href="http://myjugaad.in/browse/digg_popular"digg/a, a href="http://myjugaad.in/browse/google_news"Google News/a, a href="http://www.yahoo.com"Yahoo/a, a href="http://www.flickr.com"Flickr/a, a href="http://www.youtube.com"YouTube/a, etc. or a href="http://myjugaad.in/faq#my"from a list provided by you/a or a href="http://myjugaad.in/faq#my"from your RSS feed(s)/a./p pobject width="400" height="342"param name="movie" value="http://www.flowgram.com/widget/flexwidget.swf?id=mfkxq5dipynsqpamp;hasLinks=false"param name="flashVars" value="id=mfkxq5dipynsqp"param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"param name="allowNetworking" value="all"embed src="http://www.flowgram.com/widget/flexwidget.swf?id=mfkxq5dipynsqpamp;hasLinks=false" width="400" height="342" FlashVars="id=mfkxq5dipynsqp" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all"/embed/objectimg style="width: 0px; height: 0px; visibility: hidden" border="0" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyMjMzMTIyMDM5OTcmcHQ9MTIyMzMxMjIwODE*MSZwPTI*MTQ2MSZkPSZuPSZnPTImdD*mbz*3MDVhZDUyOTkxMWM*YjUwOGYxNDI3NDVlOGEyOTE4MQ==.gif" width="0" height="0" //p h26) Animoto/h2 pReady to ditch slideshows altogether? Animoto blends images and music together using motion graphics, effects and transitions to create videos of your imagery using their patent-pending quot;Cinematic Artificial Intelligencequot; software,which analyzes the pictures and music that you input and decides on the proper effects and transitions to match both. The end result is better for sharing your photos and not as good for professional presentations, but we can still imagine a few good business uses for this technology. For example, the Animoto video could be used to kick off another presentation or speech.
