Subject:Scribd: A new treasure chest!
Last night I was looking for a book I had just bought, and lo and behold, there it was being offered in a free download from a site I didna know about called Scribd. So I quickly joined and downloaded it and its sequel. Then I started looking around and saw that Scribd calls itself a document sharing site, so we all know what THAT means, but it's done very tastefully and without having to use complicated methods such as you would find on PirateBay with the huge movies and videos and such. First of all. I canny download those on my connection [at least in this century], and secondly I dun go in for that 'group computer sex' you guys call BitTorrents. </joke>

But at Scribd you can make yourself a wee profile and then as soon as you get your avatar up, you start getting friend requests in your email. 'Tis a bit reminiscent of melo with the number of people coming out of the woodwork and wanting to friend you. ha!

So I look to see if what these people have uploaded is decent, and if so, then I friend them. Then I thought, 'Well Oona, you had better upload something to share,' so I put up a few ebooks I had that were not commonly available on sites like Gutenberg. I've been getting those science fiction novels from Tor.com which I dun read but thought someone might, so I am giving those. I gave Future Shock, and Dr Zhivago and The Exorcist. You can put your own work up there and pictures, etc. I like it a lot. Go and check it out. I am 0ona with a zero as the first letter in case you want to be friends! ;)
