Need a way to efficiently share your media-rich presentations? SlideShare is the way to go!

One of the most useful tools I have come across recently is an application called SlideShare. It is essentially the world’s largest community for sharing presentations on the web. And it’s free. Forget about converting your bulky PowerPoint’s into PDF’s for download (which stats show over and over again are not downloaded anyway), these presentations can be easily emailed or embedded on your website while residing on the SlideShare server.

Next time you have a major presentation to prepare, see what’s already out there. Obviously I don’t recommend outright plagiarism, but rather the recycling of well-known content in order to be able to put focus on contributing new information to advance your particular field/discipline. Always provide sources and give credit where credit is due. This is “community” at its best.

Unfortunately, I don’t think WordPress allows me to embed the following sample Social Media presentation from Joseph Jaffe, however clicking on the link will take you there. Please note, that I will soon be moving this blog permanently to my own domain (www.mikekujawski.ca –>only redirects at present time) using the wordpress.org open-source application where I will have much more control. Be sure to subscribe to the new rss feed when it comes out.

Cheers!
