Recognizing the value of this technology, Scribd released the Scribd Platform, which allows any website to use iPaper to display their documents.

What if we’re the next Nick? What’s your take? And what do you think of hands off customer service in this case?

POPSNothing you do ever goes away... Google Street View still worries people, especially parents who have to see pictures of children playing in the yard. One member can see his kid playing at his parents' house and wonders "if a big NOINDEX NOCACHE sign in the front yard would work."
