how come you can’t do full screen?

I’d have liked to see them allowing each potential presentation to go full screen, maybe as it develops a bit we’ll see that down the line.

The biggest disadvantage for slideshare can come from the fact that google has the ability to rank ppts on its own website higher that those on slideshare. In such an eventuality, slides on google will get more views, so more people will post on google slideshow and the cycle may just feed into itself.

I think people at slideshare need to find a strong strategic response to this. Replacing google adsense ads with yahoo publisher network may be a good start.

RE: Google Page Rank
Surely the way to high volume / quality traffic, nowadays, is to focus hard on content – content that is interesting, relevant and original.

Wouldn’t it just be simpler (and definitely sleeker) to embed everything with slide.com??? I don’t get this google app….

Slideshare has slidecasting–so you can actually hear a presentation embedded in a blog.

If only slideshare would–automatically–let users create podcasts of their presentations; that would leave google further behind and be so much more interesting.

@Don Jones : I prefer the Guy Kawasaki’ s 10/20/30 rule : 10-slides length, 20-minutes duration, 30-points font.

When the heck are they ever going to allow for EXPORTING into ppt format? I like collaborative development of these slides, but at work, my idiot bosses want the final format in ONLY Microsoft powerpoint. How can that be a difficult feature to implement, Google??? EXPORT TO POWERPOINT format already!

Seems like Google is just copying what already exists. I’ll stick with Zoho.

WTH? Why when I visit TechCrunch with my Gmail open in another tab is this embedded object(powerpoint) asking me to log into Google services?

Is that supposed this way? Seems odd to me!

@ #17, #18
I think SlideShare.net has its own merits:

- Presentations look exactly as uploaded (font-sizes and font face remains the same, you can have any artwork graphics on them)

- Slideshare provides social sharing and grouping slideshows as Events/Groups/Tags etc.

I see Google Powerpoint as collaborative editing of presentations, and SlideShare as social sharing of presentations.
