Are you running out of ideas?
Do you have one of those presentations coming up for which you have less than a day left to create the content? Are you running out of ideas and time? Worry not, rescue is here.
Online Service SlideShare.net is the place to go to. It’s a site where people share PowerPoint presentations for free. You can go there and search for your idea and choose from the many presentations that show up. You can then view them online or download them to your desktop.
For instance, take a look at the results when I searched for “blogging”.
And these are just 6 out of over 8000 results that were returned. I think that is the only problem this site has: too many results. But the content that turns up is fairly good.
This site can serve as a good point to begin researching your idea as well. You can get a lot of markers and pointers just by looking at what other people have to say about the topic you are researching.
There are many features available:
- You can embed slide shows in your blog.
- Share slide shows publicly or privately.
- You can have synched commentary for your presentation.
- Download the PowerPoint or PDF file.
- Join interest groups.
There is also the concept of a Slidespace, which is essentially like a social networking home page. Here’s the Slidespace of the company’s CEO: Rashmi.
Of course, you must remember to give something back. Go ahead and upload any presentations that you can share.
