SlideShare Ribbon for PowerPoint 2007
Anyone who reads this blog knows I’m a SlideShare user. Well, as of this morning, SlideShare just got 100x better as it is now fully integrateable with PowerPoint 2007. Just install the SlideShare Ribbon for PowerPoint (don’t forget to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 first as instructed) and then you’ll have a new SlideShare ribbon right in PowerPoint.
As you can see from the buttons much of what they do is self-explanatory. Simply put you can upload to, search, and download from SlideShare directly in PowerPoint. Here’s a screenshot of what the search/preview/download interface looks like.
What I also found surprisingly impressive is the program’s ability to give you detailed statistics about your account with just a click of the Presentation Stats button.
There’s more I could say but instead I’ll leave you with the intro video that the folks at SlideShare put together.
