It doesn’t take a genius to figure out scribd.com has something big in their hands:
– Flash based document viewer (for any document format)
– Unlimited uploads
The result, what I call a “YouTube of Books”.
Just check this out, and see why Amazon has a little bit of market to loose (those who don’t really care about reading books on screen, and having the ability to search a book in seconds…)
Look for yourself
I foresee these guys being bought by Google sometime within the next two years, they certainly provide with the vision of Google, that of organizing information, and what not, and they have the same copyright issues as YouTube did, something which didn’t stop google from acquiring them at the time.
All we need now, is to be able to use that Scribd viewer with PDFs hosted anywhere, I would love to have that document viewer installed in MyBloop.com
