Sort of a tangental topic, but I hate it when people post slides like this. These sorts of things should always work better as a blog post. If your slides are good presentation slides, they're not detailed enough to work without a presenter, and if they are they're bound to be too wordy for the actual presentation. Either way, it's not a presentation I want to be in.
- SimonPStevens 16y agoTotally agree. These aren't presentation slides, there is way too much text on them. They are clearly designed for reading, so it should have just been made as a text based blog. Why force people to use flash to read text.
- noahc 16y agoThere are a lot of reasons to do things this way. First of all it was originally distributed as a pdf e-book. An ebook even if the same length as a long blog post makes you more professional, or at least appear to be so. Once you have the pdf, it's trivial to upload it to site a like slideshare and let people view it there. As a side note, because Charlie has worked with Seth Godin and this is something Seth does, he probably is just emulating something that worked for seth. I'm not sure if it says it in the ebook, but this originally was going to be a guest post, but ran a little long.
