Youtube for documents

Posted by on Feb 19, 2008 in Blogging, Technology

OM Malik’s post on Scribd’s iPaper prompted me to try this service and so far I am very intrigued by the possibilities. It’s easy to sign up and the viewer works great. Here is NOT an example of an embedded document. I couldn’t get it to work on my blog (It may be an issue with my template…any suggestions why it’s not working?).It works great on my website, Beyond438.com.While doing research for this post I found that Techcrunch has a lot to say about Scribd and similar technologies including: Docstoc, and edocr.Issuu is a Danish company with a VERY cool pdf viewer. This one also messes with my blog layout (I think I have a problem with my blog template). See an example here on my website, Beyond438.com (scroll to the bottom of the page). Seems like Scoble and Webware both got this story before Techcrunch. Funny!Scribd and Issuu are two tools and sources that I’m adding to my Entrepreneurs JIT toolkit.
