Scribd Redefining Online Documents

from Awakened Voice Blog by Rob Safuto

Scribd (pronounced skribbed) has developed a new iPaper platform you can use free, to share, store, and/or read documents.  Previously the only way to share a document was by email, sending a direct link to the document or attaching the whole document. With Scribd you can email a document without having to actually open an email program… Scribd also provides you with an embed code that allows you to share a doc by embedding it in another website. Using a flash format, it avoids file incompatibility problems that commonly arise when you send someone a document in a program (or version) that the recipient does not have. As an example, here is a 354 page book from internet law guru, Lawrence Lessig that you can read free.
