Slideshare

I quite like Slideshare. I found it relatively easy to use and I can see the benefits of uploading presentations to the site. It could be really useful to upload presentations on searching databases etc. to refresh students' memories after the event. However, if you didn't see the presentation in the first place then it could be a bit pointless because the slides lack the detail of the original presentation.

There were quite a few informative presentations about web 2.0 technologies and security on sites such as Facebook which is good for those who don't really know where to start. I also really enjoyed a slideshow with some pretty cool pictures:

Slideshare has perhaps been one of the better and more useful things we've looked at so far, maybe just behind Flickr! I guess it's just a case of making sure that what you make available on the site is useful to those you aim it at (i.e. more than just a few pictures stuck on a couple of slides, strung together with a few words!).
