SlideShare Now Lets You Fuse YouTube Into Your Presentations

Back in 2006 when we first introduced SlideShare , we called it a mix between PowerPoint and YouTube. Today, that statement gets even more accurate. SlideShare will now allow users to embed YouTube documents into their Flash-based presentations - an oft-requested feature that has countless potential uses. Users will now be able to include personal introductions to their slideshows, offer video that supports the contents of the rest of the presentation, or (in the case of startup pitches) include demonstrations of a website's features. In the past users wishing to include video in their presentations have been forced to include links to separate video files, which sort of defeated the point of having a dead-simple way to share PowerPoint presentations.
