Comment on: Scribd to block uploading of copyrighted material to its site

[Laurel-LaFlamme]

I LOVE Scribd. I have been a Scribd'r for a couple years now. When on of my computers crashed, it absolutely saved me to have some vital client articles already uploaded to the portal. All of my important public documents, client PR, articles, press releases, campaign notes, etc... go straight to Scribd from now on. <br /><br />The search engines visit the articles regularly so it's excellent for SEO, too. <br /><br />On the mater of copyright issues that fall through the cracks occasionally, they have been very swift about reacting and rectifying the situation! Hey, it happens, but the Scribd Team handles it when it comes up. <br /><br />We live in a commercial world where everyone wants their news and information, not just at their fingertips, they want it faster, quicker, better and more of it. Copyright issues are bound to creep up. All in all, Scribd is a phenomenal tool to have in your arsenal if you want to publish...anything. <br /><br />Not to be off topic, but the Scribd online community is actually a very effective networking tool, too. It may not be of the Facebook or LinkedIn caliber yet for smoozing, but I have been fortunate enough to make some very profitable business connections and forge a few lasting friendships through their in-portal communication network. <br /><br />If you don't know about Scribd and their new publishing technologies, you should definitely check them out.
