Goodbye Slideshare

I received an email this morning
from slideshare that went like this;
Slidecast to be discontinued

Dear Nigel,
We launched Slidecast in 2007 to allow users to pair audio with their slides. While we have seen some
great Slidecasts created, usage hasn’t been as widespread as we had hoped, and we have decided to
discontinue this feature on SlideShare.
Slidecast will be retired in two phases:
The ability to create Slidecasts will cease on Feb. 28, 2014
Existing Slidecasts will be converted to static presentations on SlideShare on April 30, 2014
To save Slidecast files in their original form, creators can download their Slidecasts from their ‘My
Uploads’ section by April 30, 2014. After April 30, we’ll convert existing Slidecasts (on the SlideShare
site and embeds on other sites) into static presentations, so that there is not complete loss of content. For
more information, please read FAQs.
We are sad that Slidecast is going away, but we want to focus on improving and adding SlideShare
features that will resonate with more users. Thank you for your support.

As you can see the slidecasts have
proven to be both useful and popular
