Solution: Scribd is the biggest online document sharing community on the Web
There's something about the word "documents" that can suck the life out of a room faster than Oprah in a Dairy Queen All You Can Eat Blizzard Buffet.
Documents mean business.....legal.....contracts. Dull, thick, dense globules of information. Things that stick to your brain like napalm.
But I actually think documents have been given somewhat of an unfair label. Sure, they'll never be as instantly compelling as video clips, photographs or music - but they can play a role. Think e-books, recipes, presentations, how-to guides, help manuals....there's a lot of love to be found in the MS Word and PDF realms providing we choose to seek it out.
That's why I've always been quite excited by Scribd - an online community site that lets users upload, download and share documents.
The amount of content on Scribd is quite impressive, and it has all been uploaded by site members. From that annoying manual to the DVD player that you lost during your move to an e-book about de-tox diets, Scribd gives you the ability to find documents on a wide range of topics. There's also a social element too, allowing you to create groups of friends and then share documents only within that group - perfect for studying, or even for colleagues working on the same project at work.
