You can now share presentations on LinkedIn
Oct 28, 08:08 pm PST
LinkedIn just launched a platform (see techcrunch post and linkedin blog post), and SlideShare is one of the first apps to go live! We have been working on this app for several months, and it is very exciting for us to see it working on the LinkedIn site. Here’s a video of our CEO Rashmi Sinha demoing the app:
SlideShare for LinkedIn lets you share slides with your network on LinkedIn, see slides from others on your network, and post comments on slides. It’s almost like a mini-SlideShare within LinkedIn. This is a powerful way to share expertise with your network on LinkedIn.
One really cool thing for existing SlideShare users is that linking your accounts is really easy, and if you do so all your SlideShare presentations will automatically appear in your LinkedIn profile.
Everyone at SlideShare pitched in, but special thanks to the core team (Gaurav, Kapil, Ashwan, Vineet,) who did an amazing job and pulled several all-nighters in the final stages of this project. They are monitoring the servers carefully right now. We’ll all be listening hard to feedback from our users over the next few days.
Special thanks to LinkedIn folk Jamie Templeton and Taylor Singletary for all the support they gave us on their awesome new app platform!
Go install the SlideShare app on LinkedIn!

Cool. FWIW the link to the LinkedIn blog post still goes to the tech crunch article.

Thanks for pointing that out Steve. I’ve added the correct link now.

Looks like it is not working so good for me - It blocks at “30% complete”, then it said “The server did not respond. Please try again.”. Any idea?

@Benjamin: A few hiccups today, we’re working hard to have it fixed as soon as possible.

Great!
Now anyone can learn from the best practices - and the worst- of other people.
If you keep following, you never become a leader.

Why do I feel that you have copied “look and feel” from YouTube? You could have come up with something original on your own or are you paying some fees to them (to get this UI feel). For instance, the bottom of your home page - Blog, Developers & API (in YouTube its Developers API)…looks same.
The top of your (links)homepage is no different either from YouTube - Home, Community, sign-up…pretty much the same.
Reminds me of:
Think. - IBM
vs
Think Different. - Apple

I’m still having trouble adding the application…. is this still a known issue?
Oh, and ignore Joe Doe… I’m GLAD the interface looks similar. Good design isn’t just making something different… just look at Vista!

Jake: A good idea (which SS is) and original UI (SS is not) makes a difference. Let’s not preach plagiarism.

I have tried numerous times over the last couple of days to get my slide show uploaded to my linkedIn page but all I get is up to 80% then it tells me the server is not responding. Any help would be appreciated.

Whose the CDN?

Still not working. I have tried it every day for a few weeks and it never communicates with the server. Guess it is a good idea that does not work. How did you get the demo to work if the server cannot communicate with the linked in app. Please post when it is fixed so we can try again.

It seems that we have a problem on Linked-in. Is it possible on your side to respond to the question why I can’t login and upload a slide presentation? regards, linda

Is it possible to download presentation to be helpful for class room presentations? presentation available in management subjects?

I need a Linked In organic chip to sync my brain w/ computer.

I have installed the app, I linked it with my account, added a presentation with youtube video to my slideshare account but cannot get it to show up on the app??
Help.

Thanks for this, it appears to me that this is indeed a huge subject with diverse and unique prospective views on it.
