Forward of interest: Adding Social Element to Document Sharing

If you are looking how to share documents, presentations or PDF's then a good website is Scribd. Interestingly they have also added a social networking aspect to their site. This makes sense as the site was a way of sharing but lacked that ability to build a community feel to your visit. Now you
Can see a news feed of your friends
Reply to friends feeds
Add items of interest to your profile
Easily follow and find new friends.

It is another example of how web sites are understanding the social aspect to sharing and in many ways Scribd has "copied" aspects from Twitter and Friendfeed. Whether these additions will help Scribd which has struggled over the last few months I am unsure, and whether it adds anything extra to other sitesagain I am not sure. However, I do find Scribd is a great place for document sharing and another way of connecting with people of similar interests.
