Hating on Slideshare

“If I can make one presentation better, I shall not have lived in vain.” -- Mark Twain “The definition ofinsanity is giving the same presentation over and over expecting different results.” -- Albert Einstein

I hate SlideShare Does a pretty good job of what it does Don’t begrudge the company’s right to make an honest, ethical business out of what it does.But... Hate that people find value in slide decks. Hate the fact that there’s demand for something like SlideShare.

The Slide Deck Is a Prop The value of the presentation is  What is said  How it is said The deck is nothing but a prop.

3 Components of Great Decks There are three components to a great presentation:  1. Quality of the content.  2. Quality of the delivery.  3. Quality of the material.The components are weighted 60/30/10.Remember:Great content can compensate for bad delivery.Great delivery can compensate for bad slides.

Preaching to the Choir SlideShare is 10% of a deck’s valueBut… People place higher emphasis on the least valuable part of the presentation. People are just too damn lazy to read. People are lazy-ass heathens ruining the business world with crappy-ass presentations filled with nothing but stupid-ass pictures.
