Tiffany recently sent me an email with a fairly large PPT (PowerPoint) slide show in it. I wanted to share it with everyone so I went off in search of a web service for displaying PPT files. SlideShare was at the top of the list and it supports PPT (MS PowerPoint), ODP (Open Office), and PDF (Adobe Portable Documents).
I tried it and after only giving them an email address, I was able to upload and share a PPT file with the world. This is a most excellent service. I can recommend it highly.
They allow you to post some simple HTML in your website or blog that displays the slide show for you. It looks like this:
SlideShare is the world's largest community for sharing presentations & slideshows. You can upload your PowerPoint, OpenOffice, Keynote or PDF files, tag them, embed them into your blog or website, browse others' presentations, and comment on individual slides. What's more, the transcripts of your presentation will be indexed by internet search engines and show up in search results. It's a great way to share your ideas with others, or to learn from other people. And it's completely free.
