Yup, its working. Looks good.
 

Gracias, Phil !
 

i am glad to see you adopt the use of slideshare as a microformatted, searchable platform for presentations.

It is my conviction, after working with content in presentation form, that the Pareto principal applies to slidesharing also. ( the vital and significant few, versus the trivial many)

viz.most presentations in spoken, video and/or PPT formats contain key "frames" that allow for peer reviewers to abstract and abridge such content yielding "high chunk" synthesis at an approximate 20/80 proportion

20% are the key frames to give you the gist of what is being presented.

80% are the frames you can put in your playlist for when you have time to listen or view the entire presentation.

Try me -- give me a slideshare set to review and I will abstract the key frames and report back to you.

In an economy of overabundant content and attention scarcity - key frame abridgment and abstraction will be the best way to keep up with the flood of content.
 

Hi Dave,

Very informative, as always.

I heard of slideshare first from you and finally had some time to try it at work -it has much promise as a facilitation tool for teaching and student peer to peer work.

I'll take you up on your offer -I will try to digg up a ppt that I aimed at an adult audience ( most of my consulting experience unfortunately was in the day of the much vaunted overhead transparency and I have not done anything recently) but perhaps I'll show you one designed for my students, and then you can critique them.
 

Hmm. Can I take your slide show,control which slide is the default, and post it on my site?

I ask because the real power wouldn't be the "widgitization" of powerpoint, but sharing, manipulating and "dialoguing" it.
 

Hi shloky,

Sure, go ahead. Let's see how the slide concept evolves. I think I posted the companion ones on slideshare as well for future use. Have at any and all of them.
