I am an EFL teacher in Japan. My interests include online professional development, blogging, literature, vocabulary, and writing. I am a member of the online communities of practice, Learning with Computers, Webheads, and Blogging4Educators.
The Webslides are really visually appealing and would be great for use with a class or for professional development.
For use with a class, you could bookmark some sites you wanted students to take a look at and embed the Webslides widget on your class blog or site. The slideshow may be more attractive than a simple list of links, and may appeal especially to visual learners.
For professional development, using the Webslides feature would be a nice way to showcase a project or to create a kind of portfolio. During the Blogging4Educators session that we co-moderated earlier this year, we created a lot of content on various sites. I bookmarked these sites, saved them to the list Blogging4Educators, and then looked at the webslides. It looks really professional, and is easy to share with others!
