When most people hear the words “presentation software,” two popular packages immediately spring to mind: PowerPoint and Keynote. While those are not the only ones out there, it’s often hard to name specific alternatives immediately. Flowboard hopes to change that with the debut of its Mac desktop package, a companion to its year-old iPad app of the same name. While this newcomer has taken an unusual route — the mobile version preceded the desktop version — its developer believes that will emphasize the product’s online, interactive focus. “Our software is built for the interactive presentation space; it’s not slide, slide, slide,” said Flowboard founder…

Palette is touted as a tool for designers and creatives to identify relevant photos based around curated palettes. You can also customize your own palette by choosing multiple colors and finding images accordingly, and you can of course refine by keywords relevant to the subject matter.
