The tools for slidesharing, etc presuppose a level of familiarity with photosharing, video sharing and other applications such as powerpoint which are necessary to use them efficiently and with the desired results.
They would be most useful in situations where there is little inhouse support or network availability for shared folder, intranets and other inhouse archival options. They would also be useful for those individuals who want to put their creations outside the workrealm and they do allow individuals access to tools that are normally in the province of graphic designers, and/or PR staffers.
Most of these little "explorations" require hours to achieve the most basic result and this blog entry is testimony to that. Instuctions such as "copy this html" the result of which is decidedly not what was promised ....mosaics, slide shows, videos...but rather some undecipherable coding rather than the images one was seduced into thinking would be easily transferable. The level of frustration is keen and the time wasted cannot be recaptured, nor does it lead to enlightenment and subsequent mastery. This, instead of the "mosaic" or"slideshow", is all you get today.
