For better or for worse, creating and sharing presentations is an integral part of how people do business. Professionals and academics alike need the ability to share their work with colleagues down the hall and across the world. SlideShare is an online community that allows users to share the slideshows or presentations they produce as well as discover relevant presentations created by others. With SlideShare, sharing presentations and slideshows is a two-step process. SlideShare allows users to upload PowerPoint, OpenOffice, or PDF files with a maximum file size of 100MB. The file is then converted to an embedded Flash format and a transcript of that user's presentation is indexed by internet search engines, providing endless promotion. Adding audio to a presentation can increase its impact, so SlideShare supports synching audio with slides through its multimedia format, Slidecasting.
