Slideshare- what is it

SLIDESHARE


"SlideShare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Users can upload files privately or publicly in the following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote or OpenDocument presentations. Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other sites." -wikipedia

Slideshare, another website we have used to present our evaluation questions, is a slideshow presenting website that puts your Windows powerpoints online for others to see. Just like a regular powerpoint, the template layout is the same, as well as the look and amount of information allowed for each slide. The website is considered to be similar to YouTube yet for slideshows.

The website, launched in 2006, was originally meant to be used for businesses to share slides among employees more easily, but it has since expanded to also become a host of a large number of slides that are uploaded simply for entertainment.
