I am sure most of you are familiar with SlideShare.  If not, you should be.   According to their website, Slideshare is the best way to share presentations, documents, and professional videos.  They also bill themselves  as the world’s largest community for sharing presentations.

Content also spreads virally through blogs and social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter.

Anyone can view presentations & documents on topics that interest them. The site is growing rapidly with over 25 million monthly visitors.
