SlideShare – one of the underrated giants of social media – recently introduced a big new feature called Clipping.

Clipping lets users take single slides from any presentations on SlideShare and add them to their own Clipboards. Your Clipboards are a bit like Pinterest – organized, curated content. There are a few reasons why this is great for SlideShare:

  • It makes the network more “sticky” – it gives users a reason to stick around and spend more time on the site.
  • It helps shift SlideShare from a platform of consumption to a platform of real engagement and networking with others.
  • It helps people use SlideShare to create something of their own – something they can share and be proud of – without actually having to design and create a deck on their own. It makes SlideShare more accessible.

To see how SlideShare Clipping works, check out one of our favorites – Ann Handley’s “Content Marketing Truths” Clipboard.
