The SlideShare site owned by LinkedIn announced that it will release the most popular features of the Premium service for all users. Gradually will be free functions detailed analysis, customization profile, upload videos and private uploads.
The platform aims to provide a function a month, starting in September. With that deadline until December the services will be available to all users of the presentation sharing site
In addition, the site also decided to stop PRO with their plans. Entered into service in 2010, prior to the LinkedIn purchase it for $ 119 million, plans could be purchased for between $ 19 and $ 49.
Now, who tries to create a Premium account SlideShare receives a message stating that the service wants to make sharing on the easiest and impactful platform and therefore is not accepting new subscriptions
According to text, users who already have a PRO subscription service will not be harmed. At TechCrunch, a spokesman said that since Wednesday (20) fees are no longer charged.
The first feature to be released will be free of the detailed analysis that allows users to view who attended their presentations, as found content, which sites lead users to the presentation and other possibilities, as well as the analysis of views on the main profile on LinkedIn.
Subsequently, the user can customize the profile by means of tools like SlideShares list of favorites and other features. Among the advantages that all PRO users have access to is set as private presentations, choosing who can view them, as well as upload videos.
According to a spokesman of the company, the decision to make free services is due to a natural step that allows members to expand their content distribution and better manage your brand.
Among the reasons that may have motivated the change is an attempt to increase the number of active users of SlideShare, and more uploads to the site. If the return to the paid version was not being large enough to expand the presence of the service making the free resources can lead to a considerable increase in new and old inactive users.
LinkedIn also may be working to increase its data collection through the traffic information on SlideShare. Its recent acquisition of Bizo indicates that the company is determined to have a stronger presence in the provision of marketing services to companies.
According to company information, there will be no change in the advertising model of the site, by least not immediately.
