I just learned about the companion site to LinkedIn called SlideShare. There are thousands of presentations and other items posted there, on a variety of topics.
A few months ago I wrote a blog posting about "Tips for Presenting to an International Audience", and it received some pretty good feedback.
I decided to give this a try, using the same material, but in a different format. Of course the content of a short presentation like this is not going to have as much information as a longer article, so the last slide in the presentation contains links to my blog posting and to this web site.
The site is called SlideShare.net, and here is a direct link to my presentation.

Maybe in the future I can use this site to share some more "meaty" technical topics. Those would be topics that would be appropriate for a public forum - i.e. of general interest, and without proprietary information.
Even though the site claims to have three publication modes, Public, Private with a Link, and Private, I think I would be very careful to only post information that would not cause harm if it was accidentally published to the public. (A general guideline for anything you put out onto the internet.)
Please let me know how you like it, and if there is a topic you would like to see in the future.
