Dec 30, 11:02 am PST
This is a continuation of the SlideShare Zeitgeist 2009…
Language wise : How many slides per presentation?: Ever wondered whether presentations across the world have any differences in terms of basic character? We looked into our data and here’s something we noticed- Presentations in Asian languages (like Japanese Korean, Chinese) seem to be longer than all other ones. Presentations in German & Dutch seem to be longer than English or Spanish. Can you guess why this is so?
Spanish - 21 slides
Portuguese - 21 slides
English - 21 slides
French - 22 slides
German - 25 slides
Dutch - 26 slides
Japanese - 25 slides
Chinese - 28 slides
Korean - 35 slides

What, no commentary?
SlideShare has rolled the boat out to produce a great online tool to synchronise audio and slides, and yet this is so under-utilised! C’mon, guys, PPT without narration is the worst sort of slide show ever.
