Slideshare allows users to easily upload and share presentations publicly or with select groups for free. Presentations can be in PowerPoint, Word, PDF and other formats up to 100MB in size. Users have a profile to generate a body of work and can sync audio, view slides in full screen or embedded on the site. Sharing presentations on Slideshare only takes 1-2 minutes of uploading time, making it a simple way to disseminate information through social media.

Presentations. You can add friends, share
presentations publicly or with a select few,
there are groups you can join. It’s social
networking for presentations you’d like to
share.
2. -You have a profile all your own that you
can use to generate a body of work and
share it with whomever you choose.
-Slideshare lets you upload different types
of files – PowerPoint Presentations, Word
Documents, Open Office Documents, and
PDFs. Here is what slideshare says about
its preferred formats:
