Slideshare and Change.gov

O.k., so they they have nothing in common except that they deal with the transmission of information, but there are a couple of new(ish) web sites I’ve stumbled across in the past few days.

Are you a political news junkie and want to keep up with the transition? Then go to Change.gov, the official website of US President-elect Barack Obama, and track the transition to the White House online.

SlideShare claims to be the largest online community that shares presentations. Among other things you can:

Embed slideshows into your own blog or website.
Share slideshows publicly or privately. There are several ways to share privately.
Synch audio to your slides.
