So you have heard of Karaoke - when you sing along to the soundtrack of pop songs. The idea behind SlideShare Karaoke is similar. People make presentations, but to other people's slides. But it's a little harder than karaoke, because the slides are randomly chosen! Check out this cool little toy that we have created to help you use slideshows on SlideShare to run a powerpoint karaoke event. Its free to use, so get started now! Check out this cool write-up of how to run your own powerpoint karaoke. And don't forget to write to us and share your SlideShare Karaoke experiences.
Here's how to use it- enter a tag into the interface. This grabs all creative-commons licensed slideshows for that tag. If the slideshows allow download of the original file, it shows that link as well. All you need are some volunteers (or should we say lambs to the slaughter) for presenting.
The SlideShare Karaoke Randomizer is the first tool that uses our free APIs. We have open sourced it so that you can use it as you like. Its available on our new API site SlideShareToys. And the code is available through Google code hosting. We will be adding other tools and toys using the SlideShare API. And if you are interested in using the SlideShare API, go ahead and sign up for an API key. If you build something with it, tell us and we will add a link to you!
