Web Based Power Point Presentations
Sharing PowerPoint presentations is a headache. Sending the presentations via email is simply not the most efficient way to do it. Often it is better to embed the presentation in your blog or web page. You can do this by converting the PowerPoint to an embedded flash presentation.
If you use OpenOffice, this is a very simple process – Just open the presentation, click on File.. Export... then export the presentation to the Flash (*.swf) file format.
However, for the droves of people who don't want to do that, there are web services (scribd, Spashcast, slideaware, slideshare, etc) that will take your PowerPoint and turn it into an embedded flash presentation (much like a YouTube video). Here are the two best (in my opinion) services:
Slideshare produces some of the best looking embedded flash/PowerPoint presentations for the web. It is also modeled around the social web concept, so you can share, comment on, digg, etc., or post directly from the website to your blog.
SlideAware is another service. This one has the added bonus of providing viewer stats.
