I love Slideshare. I do. But, being a busybody, I would like it to become even better. For viewers looking for inspiration, for contributors sharing their knowledge. This presentation is to inspire, to tease, to love … or hate.

platform for more 4 years now.
But, I would love it even more if the

Slideshare is bad. I just like it to
become even better.
And no, I’m not a designer,

I’m just an internet busybody ;-)
