You sound like you never used macromedia flash paper. Scribd have just unlocked all the value in documents, rewritten an adobe product in 6 months which sucked, and done a deal with google to monetize them.
I guess the ads would depend upon what you uploaded.
- zandorg 19y agoWhat I meant about the ads was that the example from that link didn't show any. As for Flash Paper, I didn't know about it, but reading up on it, it sounds like Scribd have a good API going. One point is that they recently got sued for putting up books, etc. My gripe is that Word documents can be put on the web as HTML, so I don't see the need for a centralised repository (Scribd) when the Web suffices (decentralised).
- jamiequint 19y agouh, actually this makes it easier to be decentralized, since it allows you to put a word document in iPaper on your own site (and looks a hell of a lot better than .doc -> HTML)
