Scribd is a document sharing website. It currently houses over 350,000 documents. Scribd is a very useful Web 2.0 online application which allows you to upload a file in common formats (i.e. PPT, DOC, TXT, XLS, etc.) and an Adobe Flash Paper version is created in a player. You can easily embed the player and the content on your own Web page or blog, you can have the item viewed and even read-aloud right from Scribd's site, or you can download the uploaded file in PDF, TXT, and even the read-aloud file in MP3 format for putting on an audio device.

PC Magazine Review Summary:-
Pros
Unlimited storage. Easy to view Flash-based documents. Tons of interesting content. Traffic Analytics lets you track who's viewing your documents.
Cons
Navigation seems random; finding cool content takes luck. Queues for converting documents to Flash format are sometimes long.
Bottom Line
Scribd is an intriguing, if somewhat messy, platform for Web-based document publishing and discovery. If you're looking to find interesting text or share your documents with the world, Scribd can help.

Andrew, I have been trying to catch up on scibd for a while and was interested to look at it. Thanks. Read an article on light bulbs using ipaper.
I think I want to look at the sound files too but did not get that far. It certainly is a good way to store material. My only concern (as it happened to one of my on-line assignments) is whether it stays for a certain time and then disappears or is it based on hits. Bill D
