Public Speaking 2.0: Get Social

Lately, it seems as if everything has shifted towards becoming social online. In fact, web 2.0 is defined by having the ability to share and collaborate using the internet. Some of the fastest growing websites are a product of this movement; social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn), social commerce (Groupon, Living Social) and even social bookmarking (Digg, Buzz, StumbleUpon).

In our industry, the best corporate events thrive on sharing ideas and group collaboration. But what happens when the event ends? Enter; Slideshare.

Slideshare allows a speaker to post their slide show online for everyone to see. Whether you viewed the presentation firsthand or your one of Slideshare’s 25 million users, you can view presentations in their entirety for free.

Next time you give a speech, upload your content on Slideshare. Avoiding a speaker handout will keep your audience focused on your content. A presentation that is 2.0 friendly will make your chat available online for your audience to reference, comment and share long after your speech has ended!
