The document discusses and recommends three file hosting/sharing tools: Scribd, Box.net, and SlideShare. Scribd allows users to upload and share documents, similar to YouTube for documents. Box.net provides online storage and sharing of large files that can then be accessed from anywhere. SlideShare allows users to store and share PowerPoint presentations online, and also find other presentations for inspiration or sharing content.

- 1. File Hosting/File Sharing Tools Posted by Sue Waters on Thursday, April 24th 2008 File Hosting/Sharing Tools There are so many file hosting and sharing tools that can help us with our blogging. Here are just a few that made it into the Top 3 Best Web 2.0 as recommended by my twitter network and our readers. Isabelle Jones recommended Scribd because you can upload documents and share them with others i.e. your communities as well as publish them on blogs. I’ve never heard of Scribd before so Kevin Gamble explained “it’s like a YouTube for documents”. Scribd was nominated 64th top tool in the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2008 list by 155 learning professionals. I would love to hear more about Scribd if you are using it Whereas Marlene Manto says she couldn’t do without Box.net because it’s great for storage, sharing and collaboration. Box.net allows you to upload large documents, photos, spreadsheets, videos, or zip files to your online space which can then be accessed from anywhere. It means you can store large files online at Box.net instead of using your blog storage space; all you need to do is link across to the Box.net storage location. Here are Marlene’s instructions on how to use Box.net. What can we truly say about SlideShare? Not only is it an excellent location to store and share your PowerPoint presentations online but it’s also a great resource for: • To discover other people’s presentations and slideshows for sharing with your readers • Visiting to learn the art of crafting a presentation; great for inspiring ideas when creating your own presentations If you’ve not used SlideShare you definitely need to check it out! Thanks Dean Groom for including it in your Top 3 Best Web 2.o tools. SlideShare was nominated 14th top tool in the Top 100 Tools for Learning 2008 list by 155 learning professionals. Here is one of my favourite SlideShare’s by Kim Cofino.
