Scribd - the documents

Scribd - the documents avatar of YouTube is a YCombinator startup. I'm impressed by the navigational site design and of course the document renderer. This startup reminds me of one of the open source project called e-sharepoint which was built with the same vision but never saw completion. I had contributed for e-sharepoint as a developer almost two years back.

I built a Google Co-op Search for searching e-books on Scribd and here is the link for it:

Some of the features that I would love to see in Scribd includes:

• Quote on a selected text and link to it from comments (dynamic highlighting)
• Facilitate more user discussions by improving comments feature
• Allow users to recommend similar/related documents
• Allow Pin-n-Publish of reading list in RSS
