![SlideShare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Users can upload files privately or publicly in
the following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote or OpenOffice presentations. Slide decks can
then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other sites.[2] Launched
on October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be similar to YouTube, but for slideshows.[3] The
website was originally meant to be used for businesses to share slides among employees more
easily, but it has since expanded to also become a host of a large number of slides which are
uploaded merely to entertain.[4] Although the website is primarily a slide hosting service, it also
supports documents, PDFs, videos and webinars.[5] SlideShare also provides users the ability to
rate, comment on, and share the uploaded content. The current list of SlideShare's investors
includes Venrock, David Siminoff and Dev Khare.
The website gets an estimated 58 million unique visitors a month, and has about 16 million
registered users.[citation needed] SlideShare was voted amongst by the World's Top 10 tools for
education & e-learning in 2010.[8] SlideShare's biggest competitors include Scribd.com, Issuu and
Docstoc. Some of the notable users of SlideShare include The White House, NASA, World
Economic Forum, State of Utah, O'Reilly Media, Hewlett Packard and IBM.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/slideshare-121018191522-phpapp02/85/PRES2-1-320.jpg)
