I received an email recently about a new service from Diigo called WebSlides which lets you, as they say, "convert your bookmarks into slideshows." However, I think their marketing plan to sell WebSlides as just another bookmarking tool is doing it a disservice. I initially could not imagine why I would want my bookmarks saved as slideshows, but I immediately saw the value of the app as a training tool. I could picture WebSlide users making a walkthrough of how to use a particular website, presenting the features of a new web service, or making a WebSlide show to be used in a classroom setting. WebSlides' value is not just in the way it lets you stitch together a series of web pages together to form a slideshow; it is the ability to add sticky notes, highlights, and integrated annotations to the slideshows that make the service so useful. In addtion, you can record and narrate tracks to go along with the slideshow or add music.
Some other suggestions for the use of WebSlides, as noted on their site, include:
Show a list of houses to real estate clients
Review a list of job candidates found online
Bundle important course resources for students
Assemble all the pages on a specific family line
Provide guided use cases for potential customers
Share the favorite places you would like to visit with your friends and blog readers
Provide a quick briefing, a simple tutorial or guided tour on any subject.
