Slideshare - more power to you!
www.slideshare.net is a powerful tool I just discovered. It's free and allows you to share (or view) slides.
Of course, you can do the same on YouTube, except that you can't easily go forward or backward on YouTube. Also, you would have to convert your PowerPoint files into a video, which would then be uploaded on YouTube.
But here's my insight: YouTube allows people to share what the EYE can see, whereas Slideshare empowers people to share what the MIND can see.
In other words, YouTube can be entertaining, but only Slideshare can be educational or instructional.
I predict Slideshare will be bought soon for an obscene amount of money, as more and more people become users and realize that the Web is best used for instructional purposes, not entertainment.
