Social Media for Business Takes Third in World’s Best Presentation Contest

By Jon, on December 10th, 2010

I’m quite happy to inform all of you that my presentation, Social Media for Business, was awarded third place overall in SlideShare.net’s World’s Best Presentation Contest!

In its seventh year, SlideShare.net’s World’s Best Presentation Contest fielded 1,822 entries in five categories. First, second, and third place overall were awarded, as well as six individual category winners.

A big congrats to Empowered Presentations, located in the state of my honeymoon (Hawaii), for their incredible presentation, SMOKE – A Convenient Truth. It was without a doubt worthy of first place.

I especially want to thank each and every one of you that voted for me, ReTweeted me, and supported me thorughout this contest. I was overwhelmed by how supportive, helpful, and simply awesome my readers, colleagues, family and friends are.

Take a look at the full list of 2010 winners.

If you haven’t seen it already, you can view my entry below:

Jon, just found your Slideshare work today – strong work! Congrats! Was surprised you only got 3rd. I would have put you in 1st place! Even more surprised Alexa doesn’t give your site more juice, its a nice site! I’ll be back early and often.

Neil,

I really appreciate that. It means a lot. I just moved the site over to WordPress a few days ago, formerly having the blog on a subdomain (blog.presentationadvisors.com) so it hurts my SEO a little. But that’s okay. My audience is niche but passionate, and I appreciate them all.

[...] I do put this into practice, too. I came in third in last year’s World’s Best Presentation contest hosted by SlideShare.net. Is there text? Of course. Actually, because it’s a presentation that is viewed alone (without me to present the information) I had to add a lot of text that wasn’t there in the original version. Are their lists? Yep. But in the post above, I’m not arguing agains the idea of using sentences or lines of text. I’m arguing against the negative effects that result (too many ideas, less focus on the presenter, etc.).
