It is a community consisting of professionals from various industries, where people can register and upload their business content. Other individuals can come in and comment on the media uploaded. The website has more than 25 million visitors monthly with the numbers growing quickly. It began with a simple goal: To share knowledge online. Since then, SlideShare has grown to become the world’s largest community for sharing presentations and other professional content. SlideShare was founded in October 2006 and acquired by LinkedIn in May 2012. It allows users to easily upload and share presentations, infographics, documents, videos, PDFs, and webinars. In Q4 of 2013, the site averaged 60 million unique visitors a month and 215 million page views. SlideShare is among the top 120 most-visited websites in the world.

- 6. Unfortunately, some featuresare lost on upload: • Animations and effects normally accessed and used in Powerpoint are not supported in uploaded Slideshare presentations. This means that animations and slides effects are lost and the presentations are shown as static displays only. • Music cannot generally be added to slide presentations in Slideshare although some presentations i have viewed do have a musical introduction. Music played as background to a pictorial presentation though is not supported and any music files added to presentations before upload are stripped on Sideshare. This is possibly done to eliminate copyright infringements. • Some people may feel that the 100MB file size limit is a limitation but Slidehare offers advice on their FAQ page as to 'overcome' this issue for users that need to. • You have to buy a Slideshare Pro Account if you want to upload privately, upload videos, or upload larger files.
