Earlier this week, TechCrunch and Lifehacker highlighted Scribd – “a free online library where anyone can upload.” Scribd has potential to be a great help for churches to easily make their homegrown resources readily available on the Internet, just like YouTube has done for video. Scribd lets you upload, tag, comment and embed documents (.doc, .pdf, .txt, .ppt, .xls, .ps, .lit). There is also a cool text-to-speech feature that will read aloud uploaded documents or let you download them as mp3.

We are considering using it to share small group resources.

I uploaded a text on Holy Pascha (Passion) Week compiled by our church and embedded it here (they use Adobe’s Flash Paper Technology).
