What is WebSlides?
Diigo's patent-pending WebSlides, http://slides.diigo.com, is an incredibly easy way to convert your bookmarks and feeds and present them as live web pages in an interactive slideshow format - complete with the full conten pages, links, comments, and ads. It enables a new way to easily create and share unique presentations based on web content and user annotations.
To create WebSlides, users simply enter a feed or list of bookmarks and add background music or voice narration. By clicking button, the list transforms into a slideshow, bringing Web pages and user comments to life. All you and your reader need is just a web browser.

What is more, Webslides also adds a new layer to the web by allowing any Diigo user to annotate each page on the fly with sticky notes to share thoughts or to highlight important sections. Viewers can also bookmark, tag, share, and clip content from the pages in WebSlides for future reference in their own Diigo online folders.
With WebSlides, Diigo is adding another innovative service to our portfolio of leading-edge tools and services in the area of online knowledge management, sharing and discovery.
How is WebSlides useful?
For users
This incredibly easy-to-use web-based software has many potential applications such as:
- Create a guided tour for any website
- Show a list of houses to real estate clients
- Review a list of job candidates found online
- Bundle important course resources for students
- Provide a quick briefing, or a simple tutorial or guided tour on any subject
- Share the favorite places you would like to visit with your friends and blog readers

For content publishers
The potential benefits of WebSlides widgets to content owners are substantial:
- Content creators can take advantage of this new presentation format to easily repackage and remix their content to attract additional page views. A blog, for example, can bundle its posts into various WebSlides to encourage browsing, embedding and distribution.
- The slideshow format, along with pre-fetching enables and encourages readers to easily and quickly browse more pages, which of course, translates to greater exposure and more page views for content owners.
- WebSlides widgets provide a compact and interesting way to show linkrolls and hot links from any RSS feed.
- The annotation layer on each WebSlides allows the creator to further enrich the content through in-the-page highlighting, commenting and discussion.
