Had a look at Slideshare, at first I wasn't accustomed to the lack of audio I am used to accompanying the slide images, but soon realised this mode of presentation gives its audience control on the speed of the presentation. It also made me realise this program is probably very useful in communicating the presentation to people hard of hearing.
The biggest advantage of the online applications is access to immediate discussions and input from various contributors while working online with 1 version of the document. The online applications are very useful for group projects such as the production of annual reports. The Design team would probably find Google Docs useful in the assemblage of the final publication. Each division makes its contribution online onto the one document.
In addition, because there's just one version of the online document being worked on, the amount of paper wastage can be reduced as different versions are printed out to bring to meetings for discussions. In terms of holding meeting to discuss and make changes to what was agreed, these activities are compressed into 1 time frame where these activities are carried out simultaneously. Having experienced working in a group on procedures, this is a very welcoming tool for the editor of the work group. Face to face discussions can be limited to situations where lengthy negotiations are needed.
In terms of presentation tools, it is also useful when working with outside organisations regardless of its geographical location. Think of the saving on time, the costs of travel, accommodation, and venue for meetings and conferences.
