Great recommendation - I use slideshare for both sharing and ideas. The cool think about these Web 2.0 tools is the "long tail" reach - several of my shows have generated almost 2,000 views - a great way to reach potential customers. I will admit there is no real tracking to know who you reach but there is some reach there...
Another great sharing site I started using is http://www.shelfari.com for sharing books...

I love going through the World's Greatest Presentation contest applicants. I've learned so much about so many things I never would have run across.

Chad:
Good point. Also, in addition to being educational I think it is just plain fun.
