I love your description of Scribd - does anyone here know what audience scribd was intended for or what problem it was supposed to address? I can't see any possible benefit from the way it works and wonder what I am missing.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoThe cynic in me says that the problem they were attempting to address was the lack of money in their pocket, and the solution they came up with was to release a platform ostensibly about displaying PDF files for the web (which is ridiculous to start with, but whatever), so they could get users to steal other people's content for them, and then run ads against that content. Huzzah!
