SlideShare Drives Enormous Traffic

In general I instinctively delete social media service newsletters. However, yesterday I received the following tidbit, which blew me away at the power of SlideShare. In full disclosure at this point in time, I only use SlideShare for educational purposes. Most of the presentations I uploaded were from my professors and not my original work. I’m using these numbers simply to illustrate the value of Slideshare.
