ublish and view documents online with Scribd

A kind of YouTube for e-books, Scribd lets you view documents online and share your own documents with the world.

You can upload one or more documents without even signing up. Scribd supports Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and other popular formats. It features an embedded viewer that lets you read documents online, so there's no need to download anything. However, you can download documents in a variety of formats; print them; view them full-screen; and even hear them read aloud. If you do sign up, you can see various analytics about your documents, such as how many people read them and from what locations.

This thing is seriously cool, a great way to find and share information. I'm concerned that copyright violations could cause it trouble (witness YouTube), but I suspect Scribd will be with us for a long time to come. — Rick Broida
