Oddpodz Review: There are a lot of uses for Scribd—as it’s an innovative new platform for reading.  Maybe you have the first chapter of a novel you want to put out there to gauge a response; maybe there’s an old college essay on your hard drive that you want to share; it can help you run your business by liberating your hard drive and helping you organize your documents with tags and categories.
