Scribd is a great new website that enables you to easily share documents online - and find useful documents that you can either read online, download or embed on your website or blog. It's been called the "YouTube for documents", and from what we've seen it certainly looks like it could become as popular as YouTube! The site describes itself like this:
"Scribd is a free, web-based, document sharing community and self-publishing platform that enables anyone to easily publish, distribute, share, and discover documents of all kinds. E-books, presentations, essays, academic papers, newsletters, photo albums, school work, and sheet music are just a few of the different kinds of documents you can publish and share on Scribd.
"Scribd provides:
- A simple yet powerful method of publishing and distributing your own electronic books and documents in a variety of formats - for free.
- A vibrant global community of eager publishers, readers and collaborators that offer great content and constructive feedback.
- A massive, perpetually growing library of open, community-generated content.
- A secure, flexible private document managment system."
