Que és?
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 orOpenOffice presentations. Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices
or embedded on other sites. Launched on October 4, 2006, the
website is considered to be similar to YouTube, but for slideshows. The website 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 which are
uploaded merely to entertain. Although
the website is primarily a slide hosting service, it also supports documents,
PDFs, videos and webinars. SlideShare
also provides users the ability to rate, comment on, and share the uploaded
content. The current list of SlideShare's investors includes Venrock, David Siminoff and Dev Khare.
The
website gets an estimated 58 million unique visitors a month, and has about 16 million registered
users. SlideShare was voted amongst the World's Top 10 tools for education
& e-learning in 2010. SlideShare's biggest competitors include
scrib.com, Isuu and Dostoc. Some
of the notable users of SlideShare include The White House, NASA, State of
Utah, O'Reilly Media and IBM
