I don't have any particular use for Scribd but I love them anyway.

Any company that can kick Adobe in the nuts by publicly reconfiguring their business to shun Flash is all right with me. And what technical prowess these guys have. Incredibly smart people there.

I've put a few PDFs of presentation slides on scribd, and then used their widget to embed those slides directly into a blog post talking about the presentation. Linking to a PDF on another page (and asking many people to a) open acrobat, b) download a multi-MB file from my host) and/or hosting that PDF yourself is sub-optimal. Let scribd host it (you can provide a link to download the actual content you uploaded, rather than their web widget), and pay for the bandwidth. I never saw the use for it, until I started giving talks and wanting to embed them. It's youtube for PPT :)
