SlideShare introduces New Infographics Player

In an announcement yesterday, SlideShare (acquired by LinekdIn in May 2012) has introduced a new infographics Player. One could upload infographics before this as well, but the new player optimizes the viewing experience for infographics. Previously, the infographic needed to be saved and uploaded in a one-page PDF format. With this upgrade, also comes in another update on the SlideShare Pro Side where users can see how many views, downloads and embeds their infographics have garnered.

The new player automatically detects an infographic upon upload, includes it in the infographic directory and displays it. Here's a look at SlideShare's journey using it's own player:
