SLIDE ON OVER

Jump to Comments

In what I would term to be a quiet few weeks in the IT world, it seems quite possibly the calm before the storm is in limbo while the movers and the shakers are all on their holidays.

So the subject of my blog this evening will be about a great idea for a website put together by the ladies and gents over at Slideshare Inc. The website in question being www.slideshare.net.

The nuts and bolts of the idea are to share presentations with the world’s community and create discussion, ideas and knowledge.

Now I already knew that the dynamics of creating a presentation are changing and grabbing the attention of an audience is actually not by providing a garbled mass of wording. But it was quite refreshing to see the quality of some of the presentations are actually outstanding and even offer an incredible opportunity to learn a story of a subject.

Of course the visuals are only one piece of the jigsaw that is the presentation package, however, getting the attention of an audience because of a quality and well thought out visual, can only be a step in the right direction.
