We’re quite excited to announce the new SlideShare Mobile website today. Visit http://m.slideshare.com on your mobile phone and you can view any presentation, search through presentations, login to save favorites and even download to your mobile phone!

Impress that client you bump into somewhere by running a quick pitch off your phone! Or review the latest conference presentations you missed while travelling!

This site is still a beta feature and might be a bit rough around the edges, so go ahead, play around with it and send us your feedback. You can even send us feedback from the mobile site.

View the full feature list and FAQs and get started right away.

Update: We’ve noticed that if you’re using Opera Mini that came pre-installed on your phone, the site still prompts you to install Opera Mini once more. This seems to be because the version of Opera installed is older and doesn’t seem to play nice with Yahoo! Blueprint (the framework we’ve used to build SlideShare Mobile)

Next Saturday is PresentationCamp. Come by! (its at the SlideShare offices in San Francisco). Some of the sessions we already have going are:

• How to pitch to VCs (Dave McClure)
• Presentations for non-profits (Beth Kanter)
• What makes for popular presentations online (Rashmi Sinha)
• Integrating Twitter into presentations (Stowe Boyd)
• What is an online presentation? (Nat Robinson)
• Slide makeovers (Rick Altman)
• Compare organization/visuals/delivery for several modes (live, remote-synchronous, remote-unattended) (Nancy Frishberg)
• The Creation Myth – Branding Your Self or Your Organization (Terry Gault)
• Distributing presentations as video (Niall Kennedy)
• How To Turn OC Tendencies Into Excellent Presentations (Jim Meyer)

We are still looking for more sessions (especially smaller workshop / small group feedback type sessions). Please add your sessions to the wiki.

We are also looking for two more projectors. And if you are interested in sponsoring coffee / lunch, drop me a note.

We just released our last and final batch of tickets (go here to register)!

SlideShare will be unavailable for 10-15 minutes while we perform some site maintenance. No presentations will be harmed.

Follow SlideShare on Twitter for more frequent site updates and help.

SlideShare is building a directory of speakers for conferences to make it easier for conferences to find you and to let us watch out for your presentations to feature on the home page.

Register at our speaker directory today to be sure that you can be found on SlideShare once we launch the directory.

Conference organizers, if you would like to spread the word about your conference, fill out our form and we’ll be sure to include that information in our next newsletter that goes out to 800,000 people. There’s one catch though: you need to provide a registration discount (a coupon or promo code) for SlideShare users.

So Presentation Camp is generating more excitement than we anticipated. We didn’t expect to sell out 2 sets of tickets in a single day, but not to fear, the third set of tickets will soon be here. We  plan on releasing those tickets next week and will make an annoucement here, on our lovely blog before they go out so you know when to start refreshing our registration page.

We are also hoping for presentation experts to attend and share their knowledge. I mean, it could be a great way to build your reputation, show off your expertise, and perhaps find some new clients.

We’d also like to highlight all the other Presentation Camps popping up for those of you not in the SF Bay Area, or even in the United States. We’ll be supporting these Presentation Camps the best we can.

The wait is finally over for Mac users - we now support Keynote ‘09 files!

You can now directly upload Keynote ‘09 files to slideshare. Yes that’s right… no need to even zip them

Yet again, we think we might be the first ones to support conversion of Keynote’09 files.

Well, kind of. Many presentations have video in them. Some presentations are shared as video. Sometimes there is a demo that you might want to embed into your presentation. Sometimes its a movie clip.

Starting today you can embed YouTube videos into SlideShare! Yes, its really easy. After uploading your video, go to “Edit” and choose the Edit YouTube video tab. Choose the slide and paste the embed code for the video. We will add a slide in that spot with the video embedded.

You can embed multiple videos into the slide. But please be gentle. This is in Beta.

For FAQs, examples & other details, check out this page http://www.slideshare.net/youtube-in-slideshare

What can you do with it.
- Add a movie clip into your presentation to illustrate a point
- Create a presentation which is compilation of multiple videos (maybe its the talks from five speakers at a conference)
- Just embed a talk. If you have a video talk and want to share on SlideShare, just embed a slide.
