Scribd is a new document library that has been getting a lot of press lately . It’s from Paul Graham’s Y Combinator outfit, and has received two reviews from TechCrunch. You add a document, and others read it. You can use the content on your site with the embedded flash reader, vote for articles, etc etc. It’s a bit like Youtube for documents I guess.
One common way to build traffic in the world of SEO is to write a document, and then add it to a document library for others to use on their own web site. The optimizer builds a keyword laden document and includes links back to their site, and the person using the article gets free content.
I threw in my global warming report to see what would happen.

Open Floodgate doesn’t look like it received the same launch attention, but it’s also a similar style social document sharing site.
