My main concern with Scribd's acquisition of SlideShare isn't so much the personal data - Microsoft probably made much more use of it that Scribd ever could - as it is with the fact that Scribd documents have been historically user-hostile and hard to read. So there is the risk that the company will lock down SlideShare content in a similar manner, all in a push to drive traffic and maximize profit. There doesn't appear to be any way to recover all my uploaded slide presentations (good thing I have full backups) but I'm still looking for an alternative way to embed them in web pages (note that since I have my own presentation pages, none of my URLs will need to change, though I may have to update the pages). More from Scribd, LinkedIn.
