Zeitgeist 2011 - Trends for presentations Every year we dive deep into the data to find the biggest and best uses of SlideShare. In our annual Zeitgeist for 2011 (http://blog.slideshare.net/2012/01/17/zeitgeist-2011-a-year-of-changes-in-pr esentation-trends), we found that b businessb is still the most popular tag used in presentations. Presentations are getting a bit longer, but they are using less text. Men still use a few more slides than women, but both have increased the length of their presentations. Take a look at the Zeitgeist slideshow (http://www.slideshare.net/rashmi/slideshare-zeitgeist-2011) to find out about trends in image use, file types and more. Youbll see the most favorited presentations and the most popular in technology and business. Which tech blog sent the most traffic to SlideShare? TechCrunch, thatbs who! (http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/17/techcrunch-readers-love-slideshare/) Small businesses amp up marketing with presentations Realtor Madeline Hoge of Mason, Ohio has come up with some innovative uses of presentations (http://blog.slideshare.net/2012/01/12/enhance-your-small-business-marketing- with-presentations) to market her listings. Madeline gives each listing its own presentation page, and tells us that she is building a bgalleryb of listing presentations. What a great way to reach potential buyers, while keeping advertising costs low. You can find more ways that Madeline uses presentations for marketing on our blog (http://blog.slideshare.net/2012/01/12/enhance-your-small-business-marketing- with-presentations).
