Scribd is a type of a social networking website that allows you to publish all kinds of documents ans images to the web. It's great for people who have something to share with the world but don't have a website, technical skills or the patience to publish things in the traditional way.
Creating a membership on Scribd is free and uploading your own works is easy. After you create an account you are given four different options for uploading your document.
You can type in the url of a page that is already published on an existing website(as long as you have the rights to it), upload it directly from your hard drive, copy and paste your text, or if you have a number of works, use the desktop upload tool to publish multiple files at once.
Scribd is not only a creative outlet for the general public, but it is also a valuable resource for business owners, webmasters, students, teachers, researches and politicians. You can find information at Scribd on a wide variety of topics, including business, health, hobbies, humor, law, medicine, pets, religion, science, technology and travel. Scribd claims to have over 17 billions words in their library, five times more than Wikipedia.
