SlideShare is a website that allows users to upload and share PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, PDFs, and other files publicly or privately. It was originally intended for companies to easily share slides with employees but has expanded for personal use and entertainment as well. The site provides benefits like managing an account to archive, publish, and disseminate presentations without attaching heavy files or embedding them on other sites. Users can simply register to create an account and upload files under 100MB to their personal slidespace, then socialize them through links.
