Aug 11, 2020: Scribd to acquire Slideshare from LinkedIn
Microsoft sells the once-popular SlideShare website and services to Scribd
Edocr says "welcome to all Slideshare ex-users" - their platform is old, tired,
cumbersome and full of restrictions imposed on their users! "Bring it on Scribd!"
The first thing we would like to point out is their FAQ about deleting your personal
data:
Can I opt-out of having my SlideShare content shared with Scribd?
Yes. To opt out of having your SlideShare content shared with Scribd, you can
export all your uploads and
delete your SlideShare account
by September 24.
It is time to move to edocr, the service built around our customer needs,
where our users set document privacy, control viewing and downloading,
not the Scribd or Slideshare.

Microsoft-owned LinkedIn on Tuesday
announced
that it's selling Slideshare --
the hosting service for presentations and other professional content to Scribd.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Our acquisition of SlideShare is a major step towards creating the world's
largest digital library," Scribd CEO and co-founder Trip Adler said in a
statement
.
"Scribd has accumulated a unique collection of user-generated and professional
content that we make available to our readers via personalized
recommendations, and the addition of presentations from the SlideShare
community advances our vision. It allows us to continue diversifying our offering
while driving even more readers to the books, audiobooks, magazines, and other
professionally published works in our digital library."
In addition to Slideshare's archival content, Scribd is acquiring its 100 million
users, as well as its presentation upload and hosting tools. According to
LinkedIn, Scribd will begin operating the Slideshare business on September 24.
LinkedIn acquired SlideShare in 2012 and since then has incorporated content
sharing capabilities directly into the LinkedIn platform.
Scribd, for its part, has more than 100 million community-uploaded documents on
its platform, while its premium subscription service offers more than 1 million
professionally published ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, sheet music and
magazines.
SlideShare, which was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012 which itself was purchased
by Microsoft in 2016, has now been bought by Scribd.
The exact amount spent on the purchase hasn’t been made public but all aspects
of the SlideShare business are expected to transition to Scribd on September
24th. An announcement is now live on the SlideShare website informing users of
the change and
offering two months of free access to Scribe
to help put minds at
ease.
Interestingly, Scribd CEO, Trip Adler, has told
TechCrunch
that SlideShare will
continue to operate as its own business and will remain integrated with LinkedIn
for the near future.
“Nothing will change in the initial months,” Adler told TechCrunch. “We have a lot
of experience with a product like this, both the technology stack and with users
uploading content. We’re in a good position make SlideShare really successful.”
SlideShare used to be one of the most-talked about digital services in
conversations about online education and marketing but it’s since decreased in
relevance quite dramatically due to the rise of rival online training platforms such
as Udemy and the ever-increasing number of free tutorial videos available on
YouTube. SlideShare has also been abandoned for the most part on the
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn which now offers its own online training courses under
the LinkedIn Learning brand and has only made minor bug fix updates to the
SlideShare smartphone apps once or twice a year since 2015.
The SlideShare website
does claim
that it gets over 80 million users a month but
it’s unclear how accurate this stat is as most content on the SlideShare website
hasn’t been updated in several years. Even the majority of its featured slides on
the site tend to be between two to four years old.
If Scribd does indeed plan to revive SlideShare for a modern audience, it could
be rather exciting to watch. While the service is clearly no longer used as much
as it was during its peak, its brand still does hold quite a bit of cachet and could
attract a lot of attention if it was revamped properly.
