Presentation Inspiration: The Best Haiku Decks of 2012

December 20th, 2012 by
As we wrap up 2012, we wanted to acknowledge the amazing enthusiasm, support, and creativity of our community. (Wow! Thank you!) The best part of our day is browsing all the newly published Haiku Decks, and we love every one in its own way. Here are a few standouts that particularly knocked our socks off. We could have picked dozens, or even hundreds, for your own presentation inspiration, but we’re keeping it to 12–one for each month in the year, one for each Top Pot doughnut in a dozen (a key component of our own creative fuel), one for each syllable in a haiku. We hope these Haiku Decks of the Year, hand-picked by our team, will inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us.

We’re huge Seth Godin fans, and we were thrilled when he embedded a Haiku Deck to complement his awesome “Most People” post. “Most people don’t care enough to make a difference….Fortunately, you’re not most people, and neither are your best customers.” (Exactly!) Read the short, sweet, gemlike post and check out the most-viewed Haiku Deck of all time here.

Haiku Deck, Now with Slideshare Integration

December 19th, 2012 by

Our mission is to make it simple and fun to create beautiful decks you’ll want to share again and again. Now, to make it even easier to set your story free (and to show off your amazing work to a whole new audience), you can seamlessly integrate your Haiku Deck creations with Slideshare.

Publishing Your Haiku Deck to Slideshare

  1. Every Haiku Deck you publish generates a web link. You can email the link to yourself right from the app, or log in to our website to view your deck in My Gallery. (Be sure to sign in to the Haiku Deck website the same way you sign in to Haiku Deck on your iPad.)
  2. Locate the buttons immediately below your deck, and click “SHARE.”
    Uploading your Haiku Deck to Slideshare
  3. Type in your Slideshare username and password information, click “SHARE,” and a PDF of your deck will be automatically uploaded to your Slideshare profile, including attribution for any images you’ve selected using the built-in Creative Commons image search.
  4. You can then sign in to Slideshare to customize the description, tags, and category, all of which help your great ideas get discovered. You can even upload an audio track if you like, since great presentations are more than just slides.

We’ve seen some standout Haiku Decks get featured on the Slideshare home page–The Mindmapping Road, by Haiku Deck Guru Stefanos Karagos of Xplain.co, has received more than 6,000 views to date on the site. In fact, earlier this week, two of the top three “Presentations of the Day” were Haiku Decks! As we described recently on the Slideshare blog, we believe this power-packed partnership puts you on the fast track to slide stardom!

Created with Haiku Deck, the free presentation app for iPad
