SlideShare new custom channel a must for business

Posted by: Bob Pearson in Social Media Insights & Trends on July 26, 2010

I’ve been impressed by how quickly SlideShare’s traffic has grown from 12MM unique visitors less than one year ago to 30MM unique visitors each month today.   That’s a lot of us looking for new insights and data.   What’s amazing is that we are at the beginning of where  this community is heading. 

In my view, SlideShare is one of the more important social media channels for today’s business.  It is one of the better places to learn and share information without a lot of noise.   It  has potential to become a solid location for investor relations professionals to share their latest information.  Increased use by IR, alone, will add tremendous value to this community.

It’s time for all businesses to consider SlideShare, whether it is a simple account or a new custom channel.   More info at  http://bit.ly/bIyqSU

 All the best, Bob

  1. I agree Bob. Another important aspect of this is that it offers a better experience for the end user — it is far easier to view/share/download documents here vs. a typical investor relations page. Oh, there is a bit more on this by @Ross at http://blog.slideshare.net/2010/07/26/pfizer-channel/

  2. Hi Bob, slideshare is a great success story. They inspired us to setup edocr.com in 2007. We launched channels before them. See an example here http://www.edocr.com/organisation/horwath-clark-whitehill. We are moving towards the next phase of providing intelligence with CRM integrations. See http://www.edocr.com/tour for more details

    Happy to have a chat
