As someone who has life thanks to science, and who values the science of life, I ask you support the Ride to Conquer Cancer 2010 for scientific research to help the lives of others.
A friend of mine, who has run 5 km and 10 km marathons before, is participating in this year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer — riding 320 km on a bike! Please do what you can, and donate if you can, and most of all cheer on Astrorider! He will need your support to fundraise $10 for each kilometre of hard work.
Over a year ago, I compared two online services designed specifically for PowerPoint slideshows. Today, I want to review 4 free online document hosting services that take your document files and convert them to a format that can be embedded and shared on the Internet.
I’ll be giving scores based on these factors:
- Web site design / usability
- Compatibility
- Converted appearance
- Embeds
In case you’re wondering, these 4 document publishing services are Docstoc, edocr, Issuu and Scribd. Of these, Scribd and Docstoc are likely the best known and the best established.
I should give a warning for those on low bandwidth connections: this is a screenshot/media-heavy post.
