Business networking giant LinkedIn has purchased the online presentation utility SlideShare, further enhancing its dominance as the definitive site for corporate and business use.

SlideShare lets users upload presentations, documents, PDFs, videos and webinars publicly or privately, which can be embedded on blogs, websites, company intranets and shared across Twitter, Facebook and now LinkedIn. Users have uploaded more than 9 million presentations to date. according to data from market research company ComScore, SlideShare had nearly 29 million unique visitors in the month of March.

LinkedIn also released its financial result for the first quarter, with incredible success. Revenue was £117 million, representing an increase of 101 % compared to the first quarter of 2011. Net income grew from £1.3 million to £3 million during the same period.
