And you can do video as well as audio calls.

Slideshare allows you to establish yourself and your company as an expert in your field by sharing slides from presentations worldwide. You can upload PowerPoint files, music files, graphics files and video files.

HARO is short for “Help A Reporter Out.” By offering to serve as an interviewee for members of the media, you can boost your company’s credibility as an industry expert and get your brand out into the mainstream public.
