Scribd is a cool service run by cool people, and I'm happy they managed to scrape together enough funding to keep going for a while longer.

But then possibly I'm biased, because without them we'd be forced to roll our own pdf/doc/xls/ppt viewer to stick inside of Twiddla. As it is, Scribd is just about a perfect fit for us off the shelf.

But you're right. They've got a bit of an oldskool business model that sort of relies on Google buying them at some point. I hope things work out for them.
