Scribd: from Paper Documents to iPaper Widgets for free

April 5th, 2008 by Avatar X Leave a reply »

From the few things that were true news in the past April 1st.. Scribd offer of converting your Paper documents to iPaper Flash Widget and let you have them as digital objects/documents was not one of the news that sounded real because it sounded to good to be true and because it reminded us of last year Gmail joke that assured you they would print all your mail for free.

But it turns out, it is not a Joke, it is a real offer.

I can only say i am wowed by that. and also curious because that could mean scribd is not doing as great as it could if they found the need of such a PR stunt and experiment. lets remember they still compete with DocStoc ,  Adobe Share , and soon they  may be also competing with Microsoft, because the rumors said they will add Silverlight powered Digital Documents output to Office Live Workplace and later on to SkyDrive.

Something that is perfectly possible because a OOXML Silverlight based document viewer already exists.

But as stated, Scribd will be providing you with Digital Objects counterparts to your physical paper ones for a limited time so if you want to check what you must do to take advantage of this offer just click at the link below.
