Present yourself better with Slideshare

Slideshare is a free Internet based service. One needs to subscribe on www.slideshare.com and begin uploading files. Besides PowerPoints, other documents such as pdfs and Open Office files can be used. Potential uses for Slideshare include:

• Way to archive Power Point presentations
• Means to share presentation slides made at or for conferences
• Posting Power Points for an academic course
• Way to create picture montage
• Method of posting class presentations in public place for comments
• Backup for making presentations at conference where internet access available

Each set of slides obtains its own unique URL. All the slides are public therefore anyone can view them. Some limitations of the service include:

• Limited to 30 MB for slide file
• No sharing or privacy options
• Original presentations cannot be downloaded by publisher or viewer
