Today a Dutch collegue sent to me a link to a powerpoint presentation he wanted me to view and read. The powerpoint presentation was available and hosted on SlideShare, “the best way to share your presentations with the world.” You can let your ideas reach a broad audience, share them publicly or privately, even add audio to create a webinar.

On wikipedia, you’ll find the following details about SlideShare:

Slideshare supports importing presentations from PowerPoint, OpenOffice.org Impress, and PDF files. The site implements most common Web 2.0 design and interaction patterns. Like many other social sharing services, users are able to add tagging, rate, comment, and embed content.

Once a file is uploaded, it is visible to the public. Terms from slides can be searched via search engines. The user who uploads a presentation can choose to make the slide show available to be downloaded. Slideshare is linked with Creative Commons so various attribution licenses are supported. In addition, these presentations can be retrieved at any computer without need for USB drives or other storage devices. In other words, presentations in Slideshare can be held before a conference for the presenters use and then reviewed afterwards by guests. Like YouTube, a presentation can be viewed in the small screen or take the full screen of a monitor. ”
