It’s been a long time since I posted … but I’ve tried some new tools and I wanted to give a quick review of one. SlideShare.net is interesting as it lets you post PPT files and add audio track. I think of it as YouTube for the business set.
The experience for the end-user is fine as you can simply click the “play” button and sit back and watch/listen.
Setting up the presentation is not straight forward. To add an audio track you have to link to an .mp3 stored on some other location on the web and then thru a very clunky interface map your recording to the slides. It also seemed to die on me a few times — but that was likely a workable bug.
Bottom line — this is a great way to get out a message cheaply — it is not, however, ready for the average MARCOM employee without a little IT help.
Check out the example from Lightstorm Networks.
