The YouTubes for Data and PDFs - I Don't Get It....



Happy Easter! Enjoy the Peep Show (warning, some might consider this R-rated depending on your sensitivity to marshmallow-on-marshmallow action).

We've seen a lot of buzz about two sites recently. Swivel has generated buzz as the YouTube of Data. Meanwhile, Scribd is heralded as the YouTube of PDFs. I've taken a look at both sites and my reaction is that both are filled with lots of garbage. Sure, there are some good material on the sites, but I really don't understand the appeal. I'd love to hear some different opinions, so comment or email and tell me why I'm wrong.

I still haven't found an exception to this rule: "90% of everything is crap"

So while most of the content may be useless, it's just a matter of filtering the good content to the top and letting the poor content sink into invisibility.

guess you're right. i just heard so many people talking about how great swivel is and i'm yet to see why it's really all that interesting....

I recently posted about how Scribd is an extraordinary site for English Language Learners -- in fact, one of the best out there:

It allows students to write, post, and hear what they've written spoken back to them.

Your weblog is fine. I simply need to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing method too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I feel is admittedly important. I dont know if you happen to didnt suppose that your phrases may hold everyones attention, however you have been wrong. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good source like this.

I've to say, I dont know if its the clashing colors or the bad grammar, but this blog is hideous! I mean, I dont wish to sound like a know-it-all or anything, but might you will have probably put slightly bit extra effort into this subject. Its really interesting, but you dont characterize it well at all, man. Anyway, in my language, there are usually not a lot good supply like this.
