SlideShare is in BusinessWeek !!
Slideshare has been covered in BusinessWeek, the global business news magazine cum website. This is an extract from the write up about Slideshare titled - “Have I Got A PowerPoint For You“.
” In the beginning, there was MP3 sharing. Then came friend sharing (MySpace), photo sharing (Flickr), and video sharing (YouTube). Now it has come to this: PowerPoint slide sharing.
SlideShare.net offers a place to upload, view, and search for PowerPoint presentations. And since opening up its beta site in October, it has received tens of thousands of files.
The site’s “decks,” as the slide shows are called, are diverse: conference presentations, classroom lessons (”Let’s Learn Colors!” from a middle-school Spanish class), and PowerPoint satire (Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address famously summarized in bullet points, created in 2000 by Peter Norvig, Google’s research director). ”
Unfortunately, you might not be able to see the article since BusinessWeek’s online version is a paid subscription (and they have no trial account as well).
This is great news for us and we are really kicked by this coverage. Let me thank all users of the site.

Congrats on getting some press like that! Wish I could have made it to Barcamp - perhaps the next time I’m in Delhi from Kolkata.
