#55 SlideSharing

SlideShare is an online community for sharing presentations. It lets you upload presentations and share them online through a Youtube style interface. You can Share slideshows publicly or privately, and Embed slideshows into your own blog or website.
Like other social networking services, you can add tags to your presentations, and/or comment on others’ presentations.
For the Exercise I had to set up a free account with SlideShare, and search for and embed a slideshow in your blog then blog about the experience and what use you could find for SlideShare.
Obviously the sharing of conference presentations is the first use you'd consider (never have to actual attend in person anymore!). The 100MB limit will keep any presentation brief however, as I found if converted to a pdf file. I chose to also create a presentation (on something that interests me!) and it's embedded below. First attempt Blogger refused to allow it, but better luck second time.
