Recently created ideas in SlideShare

it would be great if slide share allowed you to organize slide shows into groups or collections a bit like the way you can sort photos in flickr, a lot on my presentations are based on themes and it would be great to be able to organise them.

It would be really helpful if there was some data on where viewers of my slides came from or a graphic of number of hits per day over the past month etc - a bit like the info you get from your blogs on cluster maps. this would make tracking and promoting your slides far easier as you would have an idea of where you viewers came from.

I want to be able to RUN my presentation for someone over slideshare... i.e. right now all I can do is load it up. I want to have a private, shared session with someone else (i.e. webex. gotomeeting) to review the powerpoint...

It would be nice to have a page archiving the past "Slideshow of the Day"s.
It would be another helpful method for finding quality content (or at least content deemed "of the day", for whatever reason...)

Great application!

I want a portable file format of the merged powerpoint file and mp3 audio. I want to download this file to an IPOD (podcast) or computer or DVD (say a series of slidecasts to be published on a iso) and view it sound and all (automatic slides). I want to be able to serve my own streaming file/flash (sharecast) w/mp3 on my own server or buy Highly Available speedy service for said file. I don't want competing interests just my content and my mp3 and my website advertised. I don't mind a little link back to slideshare to let others know if the service is free. I just don't want to confuse my subscribers with competing ideas or ads.

thanks.

Hello,

upgrade a slide is normal also after few years. You make a new presentation in a new place, change the first with the new data and the old pages with news.
The problem is that when you upgrade a slide in slideshare you loose everything.
Why?
A possible feature is the possibility to have a slide history e.g. version 1.0, 1.1, ..., 2.0 ...

I hope this is for you a good a idea.
For me it will be a great feature ;)

Hi. I think it'd be really cool if Slideshare shared ad revenue with it's users, like Revver.com does.

What about a diaporama feature with a simple transition every x seconds ?

;)

Hi SlideShare-team,

currently, the only way I get retrieve the embed-url for a slideshow, is via hitting http://www.slideshare.net/api/1/get_s... with an api_key.

What would be really neat, was to just use stuff from the url of the slideshow instead of the api_key for the retrieval argument. By nature, the url (e.g. http://www.slideshare.net/HaVai/amazi...) must be unique.

E.g.: gimmeEmbedCodePlx.php?postingUser=HaVai&videoUrlString=amazing-photos-140897

Can you do this? Thank you in advance for your great tool :)

I associated a set of slideshows to my event and each slideshow got its own post. That's cool. But to edit the text of each post I had to disassociate the slideshow from the event and then re-associate each one, this time with the new text. It would be great to be able to edit just the text of each post on the event page.

The API functionality is kind of poor. Ok, I can retreive slideshows and upload them, but what about being able to retrieve individual slides from a slideshow? A .png file with the slide for instance (or other format types). This would make a really useful feature. Thanks

I wish to record what slideshare has made possible. I had uploaded a slideshow recently on India's Cricket Test win at Perth. Then I was in a conversation with another slideshare user - lugos. On my request she added a bit of sound a 89 seconds applause from a Hungarian music concert and converted the slideshow to a slidecast - a first for both of us.
We are now planning another collaborative slideshow. Keep watching this space for the announcement!

It would be great it SlideShare supported assigning a Creative Commons license to a particular presentation. Of course, such a license can always be embedded into the presentation itself, but some other support would also be slick.

After embedding a slideshare file to my blog I've noticed that the file was visible with Firefox but some problems with internet explorer...

1.I've tried to embed the file at http://www.slideshare.net/doktorname/...
2.To embed it to my blog http://doktorname.blogspot.com I used the given embedding code " <div><div> | View | Upload your own</div></div> "
3.The Slideshare file was visible with Firefox but invisible with IE7.
4.I searched for some solution but nothing could be found...
5.AND BINGO...
After changing the embedding code to "
<div class="slideView_swf_style">

</div>"
everything got fine...
6.Now the file is visible at both firefox and IE7.0.

Slidshare: You have added a nice feature to this action: letting user pick an address from a list of non-members with whom a slideshow has been shared. Tnx.
But this is limited only 'recent 10' as of now. Any plans to make this unlimited (well, tending to infinity?!)
If the non-members addresses get added to a 'my contact list' and also draws from 'invite friends' list it would be very helpful for lazy guys like me!
After aren't we the lazy tribe that drive user friendly and quick featuresin any product or service? LOL!!!!!!!
tnx in adv!

So I created one: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.ht...

I would like to have a "Feature" added to My Slidespace, so I can click to email my friends a URL to all of my Favorite Slideshares. An automated feature would be more intuitive than copying and pasting the URL in my browser. Most users will not think to Copy&Paste their URL...I didn't think to do that, as I assumed they would not have "permission" to view my slides. But in actuality, they should be prompted to sign up to view my files, which will help grow the SlideShare user community. Automate this, and you will see a significant increase in viral growth in users.

I have started using SlideShare to give all my talks. Why? I don't like PowerPoint as a live presentation tool. Second, I refer to lots of websites in my presentations and hate having to switch between Full Screen and web browser. I always loose my place in the presentation and then have to start from the beginning. SlideShare handles this much more elegantly.

There are a few tricks to using SlideShare for a live presentation.
-Sometimes the images don't render very well (especially for a live presentation). You can make the rendering much better by saving as pdf (and unchecking option for compressing while exporting to pdf).
-Second, SlideShare can sometimes be slow and its annoying waiting for the screen to load up in front of an audience. Easy solution is to cache the whole presentation beforehand. I go through the whole presentation in full screen mode - so during the live talk, it goes all smoothly.
-Going back and forth with the web. This is the part I like the most. When you are in full screen mode, you can press "Esc" at any time. I already have the websites open that I want to show. When I am done with it, I put SlideShare into full screen mode again. It starts at the right point.

The best part is since everyone in the audience has seen me using SlideShare, they know where to go to get the slides. Ever since I started doing this, I get a lot more traffic to my slides and a many more talk invitations!

Anyone else using SlideShare for live presentations?

I do love what you guys have created. My only question is that when I embed a slideshare player into a blog or website, the embedded player does not have a full screen button. Many of the slideshows require larger views for some of them contain small texts. But when a person who sees the slideshare show on a blog wants to see it full screen, he/she has to jump over to the slideshare website and click the full screen button on the specific show. This takes too much of the viewer's time in my opinion.

If possible, could the embedded players have the full screen button as well?? or am I missing something here? like there IS a full screen button?? (which i can't seem to fund..)

I'm sure many of us are wondering about this?

Thank you!!
