Embed Slideshows, sans Flash

I am a huge fan of iPods, iPads, and iPhones. But, there's no ignoring the fact that they are not Flash compatible. Unfortunately, until recently embedding slideshows has always been a Flash game, resulting in Apple mobile device users being left in the dust. But now, there is a website (http://icant.co.uk/slidesharehtml/) that will convert your slideshows that are on SlideShare into HTML that can be embedded into your page and read on any device.

Here's an example of a recent presentation I did about my digitization project at The Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program:





As you can see, the essential features are still there (next/previous) and it's completely viewable on an iPad or other Apple device.

Granted, if your Apple end-user really wants Flash capability, there is Skyfire, an Apple-approved web browser available in the iTunes store, that will convert Flash content into HTML5. But as someone who is trying to share information, this is just another part of ensuring accessibility.
