WHAT IS SLIDESHARE
SlideShare is an American hosting service, now owned by Scribd, for professional
content including presentations, infographics, documents, and videos. Users can
upload files privately or publicly in PowerPoint, Word, PDF, or OpenDocument
format. Content can then be viewed on the site itself, on mobile devices or embedded
on other sites. SlideShare also provides users the ability to rate, comment on, and
share the uploaded content. Launched on October 4, 2006, the service positioned
itself to be similar to YouTube, but for presentations. The company was acquired by
LinkedIn in 2012, and then by Scribd in 2020.
SlideShare is kind of a combination between a social network and an online learning
resource. Projects made on SlideShare can be posted privately or publicly on the
platform. If a it on social media or by embedding it on a website. Presentations can
also be downloaded for offline viewing on the official site
SlideShare is mainly known for being an educational resource with a variety of
webinars and training presentations on a large number of subjects. Despite this main
focus, though, SlideShare is also used by many to promote brands or companies and
some even use it as a blogging or newsletter service for their website.
