This is a completely different thing than Scribd.
Scribd is a document uploading and management service that converts .pdfs, .docs, .xls, everything under the sun.
This is an extremely nice way to view PDFs linked to from google search and gmail.
- lacker 18y agoIt doesn't seem completely different. Scribd: Upload a document, make it visible to anyone Gmail: Email a document, make it visible to anyone (that you explicitly name) Scribd: Converts pdf, doc, xls, lots of stuff Gmail: Converts pdf, doc, supports any file type (the recipient may need software for it) Seems to me like both are squarely aimed at the "sharing documents" market.
- emmett 18y agoScribd is all about turning documents into public URLs. The new google service is about sending documents to people or small groups.
