FeedBack, Y’all

I told you in the “FEEDS I’M READING” sidebar about Scribd, billed as the “You-Tube for Text”. It was swamped with submissions when I first tried to upload a file; it was zippy today.

And for starters, I uploaded Gene Hyde’s review of Slow Road Home that I converted to pdf, but this seems to load much faster than pdf, and may be the wave of the future for linking to documents that in the past have been too complex, too large, too slow to load in a browser.

Would a few of you click on the link here to tell me if you could access the page quickly and without problems? Many Thanks! — Fred
