Slideshare is a site where you can host
your presentations and share them with others.
Presentations can be linked to at the site
itself or else embedded in a web page. Slideshare has just announced new
functionality which allows you to synchronise an MP3
audio file (podcast) with the slideset. They call this slidecasting,
making it a powerful way of distributing
presentations/tutorials. Slideshare is
also a tremendous resource site of
presentations.
