What is SlideShare?

SlideShare is the world's largest community for sharing slideshow presentations (like those usually made with Microsoft PowerPoint) and PDF files on the web.

Individuals & organizations upload presentations to share their ideas, connect with others, and generate leads for their businesses. Anyone can find presentations on any topic that interests them. From very serious ones to the hilariously funny, or presentations that spread the word about a cause, like climate-change to ones that showcase someone's photographic skills.

The slideshows on the site can be tagged, downloaded, or embeded into your own blogs & websites.

SlideShare is the best way to get your slides out there on the web, so your ideas can be found and shared by a wide audience. Do you want to get the word out about your new product or service? Would you like an easier way to share your holiday snaps with your friends and family online? Are you a teacher looking to share your lesson plans? It only takes a moment - start uploading now, and let your slides do the talking!

Some of the things you can do on SlideShare:

• Embed slideshows into your own blog or website.
• Share slideshows publicly or privately (there are several ways to share privately).
• Synch audio to your slides.
• Market your own event on slideshare.
• Join groups to connect with SlideShare members who share your interests.
• Download the original PowerPoint / Pdf file.

To give you just a small example of the kind of slideshows you'll find on the SlideShare website, below are a few that I have created and uploaded myself. They are best viewed in full-screen mode and any of the links in the slides can be clicked to open in a new tab/window. Use the forward and backward buttons to navigate through each slideshow and when you've finished watching one, you can choose another from the list below the slides. Enjoy...

If down your street you have problems with annoyances like graffiti, dog fouling, fly tipping, faulty street lights, broken paving slabs or anything else of that nature, then this site, FixMyStreet.com, will come to your rescue.

Instead of making a phone call, writing a letter or taking a trip down to your Local Counil, FixMyStreet allows you to file a report directly from your computer. Thus eliminating all of the usual hassles and time constraints associated with reporting a problem via the normal channels.

Once you have filed a report, this service will alert you via e-mail as to when your Local Council has received the report and again when the problem has been fixed.

I personally think this is a great service, because after all, we pay our Local Councils enough of our hard earned money to keep our streets safe and clean and this site unables people to get their money's worth from them by taking some proactive action.

Is there any problems on your street, that are the responsibility of your Local Council, which you feel are not being addressed? If so, then take a visit to FixMyStreet.com and they'll get on their case for you.
