Introducing the NEW & IMPROVED SlideShare app on Facebook (and check out our triad of Facebook, LinkedIn & SlideShare apps)

We’re happy to announce the relaunch of the SlideShare app on Facebook. We have completely rebuilt it, integrated the latest Facebook changes and made it more useful.

To add SlideShare to your Facebook profile, go here.

You can create an account on the SlideShare Facebook app and link it to your regular SlideShare.net account. How does that help? Well, once you do that, any presentations (or documents) you upload on SlideShare will instantly be available on Facebook or if you upload them on Facebook, they’ll be available on SlideShare.

It doesn’t end there, of course. If you’ve added the SlideShare app for LinkedIn and linked your SlideShare account there, your presentations will automatically be visible on LinkedIn too!

In fact we strongly recommend you link both your LinkedIn & Facebook accounts to your SlideShare.net account. Once this happens, you have a HOLY TRIAD in place. Upload to any one- SlideShare, Facebook or LinkedIn and it will shows up instantly on all three. Isn’t that really cool?

Using the new Facebook app is a real breeze! We’ve tried to keep the interface consistent across SlideShare, LinkedIn and Facebook, so if you’ve used our app before, it should be really easy to get started with it on Facebook.

With the SlideShare app on Facebook, you can

  • Upload your presentations and documents to SlideShare
  • Share them instantly with your friends by publishing to your home page
  • Comment on or favorite presentations by your friends
  • Add a SlideShare box to your profile to display your presentations

If you already had added the app to Facebook, you don’t need to do anything, unless you want to link it to your SlideShare account.

Take a look at some of the screenshots below to see what you can do:

We’ll be adding more features to the app over the next few weeks, so we’ll be glad to hear any feedback from you or if you find any bugs. :)

    I’d like to add this to my church’s facebook profile page, but it’s not allowed. I can add it to my personal page of course. I’m just wondering what types of profile pages it is set up for?

    Hey Guys, I installed the Facebook app and like it, but how can I get a Slideshare box on my personal profile vs. a tab. I have spent the last hour trying to figure it out and can’t do it. Can you help?

    I have been on Facebook and LinkedIn for over a year and have developed many friends and contacts. I frequently recommend my LinkedIn account to prospective clients in order to review my two Slideshare presentations as well as the recommendations posted by satisfied clients. About six months ago I was able to link my Slideshare account and post two photo presentations on LinkedIn. I have tried to do the same on Facebook, as recently as June 10, 2010, without success. I’m tired of trying and your new Facebook/Slideshare link does not work. Thomas P. Rosenberger

    Great insightful post. I never thought that it was this simple after all. I had used a great deal of my time looking online for some great mind to explain this subject clearly to me and you are the only one that ever did that. Thanks a lot! Stay awesome.

    I have heard mixed reviews about Slideshare on Facebook – but I have a feeling it may be FB stuffing up, not the other way around. Do you have any updates on how we can work around the error messages that come up when we try to post slideshows?
