Technology Catches Up

I’ve been experimenting with Scribd, which is frequently described as a “YouTube for documents.” It looks like it might be useful for managing my portfolio of print clips, in particular, since it’s easier to view a document in Scribd than it is to download it as a clunky pdf. It’s also good for presenting longer form documents. One of the first things I ever blogged about here was the Nielsen TV Ratings Activity Book, a coloring book Nielsen put out to teach toddlers how to register their TV viewing habits with the company’s proprietary People Meters. At the time, I just posted a few pages. Here it is in all its unabridged glory.
