Wierd title for a blog post
, but its truly the start of the second phase in my rather short career. This week I have decided to move on from slideshare.net , to some other stuff. Lately I have started realizing how badly i needed to give time to my own ideas (and there are lots of them), with such short product life spans on the internet and the boom taking place interms of web valuations how can I possibly miss out on trying……
The internet is an awesome place to learn and create new things, to this end i must give a lot of credit to the last 8 months at slideshare.net where the team has done some pretty interesting stuff. The systems team rocks, even if its pushed beyond its capacity ….. A big thanks is in order to my team mates (in random order)
(*) these guys left slideshare coupla months back
Had a lot of fun, should not have missed out on the trips
…. I am missing in nearly all the group photographs ….. time to photoshop some of the kodak moments he he. A big thanks to Amit Ranjan and the management team for giving me an opportunity to work with one of the best teams ever …. May the slideshare alexa rank keep on rising
Note:
Frequency of blogging will resume , as i just figured the problem of my upload speed was because of the MTU size (it needed to be 1492 on the WiFi router not 1500) ….. 3 cheers to that (AIRTEL BROADBAND)
Today , after a seriously long deployment at slideshare we have released URL and email upload. These add to the exisiting means of pushing content into slideshare. Let me list the ways of pushing content into slideshare.net ..
So there are 3 broad ways of pushing content, the most useful among the recently introduced email upload. It will save the conference organizers a lot of headache when they give out one common email address where all the presenters can upload their presentations. This is also useful for people on the move, fire a presentation from their handhelds to slideshare.
More when it is officially posted on http://blog.slideshare.net
PMWiki is this really cool wiki platform, which is used all over the internet for all kinds of collaborative purposes. Today, we at slideshare have put out a “recipe” which allows you to easily embed a presentation in PMWiki
The download link for the recipe is here
You can just unzip and put the contents of this file into the cookbook/ directory of PMWiki. Then you can use the following tag to embed a slideshow
(:slideshare {presentation id}:)
Where the {presentation id} is the part of the slideshow URL after http://www.slideshare.net
For example:
http://www.slideshare.net/nmenap/machu-picchu-77777
will have the following embed code
(:slideshare nmenap/machu-picchu-77777:)
So it is that simple ehh…. So go ahead embed as many slideshows as you want ….

Checkout the Slideshare karaoke application built on top of the SlideShare API, a very cool tool which allows you to randomly pickup sideshows and have some really random fun ….
The API has been released some days back and hence the documentation is very sparse, but rest assured that with some more applications coming up there will be enough open source documentation around. This really cool piece of Javascript using the prototype library has been developed by Lalit patel , who is a specialist at JS and cross-browser issues. The code for this application has been released at google code under GNU/GPL … so you can just dive into the code eh ….
Enjoi the karaoking … and start thinking about the next big slideshare mashup eh ….
