SLIDESHARE HAS REACHED 10 MILLION UPLOADS!
HERE ARE SOME PRESENTATIONS THAT HAVETOUCHED THE HEARTS OF ALL OF US AT SLIDESHARE
Sometimes a presentation that wasn’t initially designed to be posted on SlideShare is. This presentation by Sequoia Capital devastated the private equity market and accelerated the recession in the Silicon Valley at the least.”
ROSS MAYFIELD, Marketing & Biz Dev
“
My all-time favorite is probably ShiftHappens. This was the winner of our first contest and I think this presentation heralded a new era in presentation design.”
RASHMI SINHA, Co-founder & CEO“
SlideShare's biggest contribution to the web is the idea that professional content can have a social life — and this Netflix deck stands testimony to this idea. It continues to inspire millions of people every day in their professional lives.”
AMIT RANJAN, Co-founder
“
Some works are classic. ‘Brand Gap’ shows how cleverly and creatively crafted content stands apart and is a potent tool for mass education. It should be a staple in advertising and branding curriculum.”
ARCHANA KULSHRESTHA, Content Evangelist
“
“Let's face it, PowerPoint is today's business lingua franca — yet very little consideration is given to the actual design of the deck itself. This is why Jesse Dee's evocative You Suck at PowerPoint is so spot-on. If you are interested in using SlideShare as a medium for content marketing, you need to avoid these mistakes at all costs and, ultimately, not suck at PowerPoint.”
KEVIN FISHER, Global Solutions & Services
“The battle that makes up the face of web operations is changing. Developers cannot live to fight battles in a pre-production environment only. Production is the new battle field and a new soldier can save the day. Long live Dev Ops!”
CASEY ABERNATHY, Software Engineer
“This was the moment when I knew my co-worker and I were going to be fast friends.”
CASEY BROWN, Senior Site Reliability Engineer
“The ‘build, deploy, measure, start over’ cycle should be embraced by every web company.”
SYLVAIN KALACHE, Operations Engineer
“Previously Mary Meeker published insights on the Internet industry through Morgan Stanley's equity research team. Having moved over to KPCB it was awesome to see Mary's report and insights available for free across the world, on SlideShare. I thinkthis distribution of fantastic content is at the core of what SlideShare does for our community, and at the heart of how SlideShare can change the world at massive scale!”
JOHN LOOF, Associate Product Manager
“This presentation inspires me to prioritize and do more in limited time.”
AMIT SAWHNEY, Senior Product Manager
“Why make your own mistakes, when you can learn from someone else’s experiences?”
ARPIT DHARIWAL, Product Manager
“‘What people say they want and what they’re willing to work their asses off to get are two different things.’ — Hugh MacLeod
So what are YOU willing to do? Life is a journey — make it freakin' spectacular!”
PRANAV PRAKASH, Software Engineer
“This mouth-watering presentation is a treat for the eyes and makes the taste-buds nostalgic, which is at the heart of it. After seeing the presentation, I feel on my tongue the words of Wordsworth: ‘And then my heart with pleasure fills…’ ”
UPALI BASU, Analyst
“How do you continue moving fast at scale? This deck introduced us to the idea of DevOps and influenced our thinking about releasing software. One of the most powerful ideas that shaped SlideShare.”
KAPIL MOHAN, Technical Architect
“Great use of a presentation to summarize how we should all be thinking about our career, our development and our professional success.”
REHAN MOHAMMAD, Business Operations Manager
“This is a fun, visually engaging presentation that shows that anyone can take just about any topic and turn it into a page-tuner.”
MARISA WONG, Managing Editor
“It reminds me of the two years I lived in Japan, and offers great advice for anyone who is looking to visit!”
BEN WOODARD, Customer Evangelist
“The web is out there for you to play and have fun. Lots of fun!”
NEHA JAIN, Software Engineer
“‘Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected’— William Plomer
Connecting the success saga of one of the most famous videos of our time to email marketing strategy is the purest and truest form of creativity . And oh yes, the preso is awesomely kewl too!”
SAPTARSHI CHATTERJEE, Software Engineer
“This presentation explains the competition and the business landscape around Facebook very well. Added: a theoretical explanation of how the concepts that make Facebook were envisioned, and why they are so strong emotional motivators.”
ARINDAM CHAKRABORTY, Software Engineer
“I have some slides from this deck pasted on my workstation to remind me of these best practices daily.”
AKASH AGRAWAL, Principal Engineer
“This presentation summarizes the principles of Steve Jobs, who gave us some of the most wonderful products. I try to imbibe the same principles in my work and life.”
NIKHIL CHANDNA, UX Designer
“This has given me the most smiles!”
SHIRSENDU ‘TROY’ KARMAKAR, Senior Software Engineer
“I started appreciating this more and more after reading Eric Ries’ ‘The Lean Startup ’”
PRASHANT VERMA, Engineering Manager
“This pretty much pioneered the visual resumé meme and the minimalist presentation design movement.”
ARUN J, Principal Designer
“Social networks are valuable. This deck gives you tips on how to engage your networks with a bunch of stats and pretty pictures.”
ELLIS WENG, Software Engineer
