SlideShare is Free and Easy
Wow. A new online service called Slideshare is positioning itself to become the YouTube of PowerPoint presentations. I just uploaded a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation as a test, and 39 seconds later, my presentation was available for online sharing.
That was easy.
And it is also free to sign up and store your under 20 MB PowerPoint file.
If free and easy is not impressive enough for you, the Slideshare Beta also offers a hefty array of viral sharing tools. You can point to your presentation through email, Digg the slideshow, save to favorites, offer html links to your presentation from your site, or even embed your show directly into your blog post. (See below.)
How are services like Slideshare going to change the way you share presentations over the next year?
Think about it: why send PowerPoint presentations through email, when you can point to them online? Why clog up your site's bandwidth, when Slideshare is happy to host your content?
And why not use powerful viral marketing tools to create more awareness for your PowerPoint message?
While Slideshare is still in Beta, it is still very impressive. And the viral implications of its business model cannot be ignored. ¶ 11/06/2006 01:10:00 PM
