In a time where storytelling is the buzzword, a picture is worth a thousand words, and for many people 'the medium is the message', a slideshow is a powerful tool to present your message in a story with images. By integrating SlideShare presentations into other social media, you strengthen your online profile . A blog post in WordPress is a great host for a SlideShare slideshow.
There are a number of factors that make SlideShare such a powerful social media platform:
SlideShare is not only a social networking platform but also a social content network;
Connecting and integrating SlideShare presentations with other social networks strengthens your online profile .
Integration into a WordPress blog post can provide significant added value.
Is SlideShare a social networking platform?
SlideShare is not often mentioned in the same breath as the well-known social networks: SlideShare does list to data not have real-time status updates; on SlideShare you do not discover that a friend or someone you follow is enjoying a cappuccino at that very moment, or is #feeling like it and concludes that #lifeisgood, and you cannot say that you are at that moment '@ AlbertHeyn w/ 3 others' (nice and quiet there you would think, if you did not know better), nor that you 'just ran 10.87 km in 1:02′:47′ with #nikeplus #makeitcount' (a little self-mockery does not hurt).
Emphasis on content
On the social content network SlideShare, millions of presentations attract 60 million visitors per month who view 130 million pages: this makes SlideShare one of the 200 most visited sites in the world. You can decide for yourself whether an uploaded presentation can be downloaded or not.
