Thanks for letting us know about this great "sharing" site :-) Lot's of garbage in it, but it also has some interesting docs. I'm more interested on the technical details of it. How it works internally for scrapping, text extraction, indexing, random users creation and uploading of stuff and so on. I understand the privacy and copyright infringement concerns, but it's not like they've hacked into those other sites and uploaded their files. They're using existing and "open for everyone" pages. Also the estimates for revenue are highly exaggerated IMHO. Sure they're making some €€€, but not in the millions range :-) On a final note, how is this vastly different from, let's say, https://www.scribd.com https://www.scribd.com ?
