 Hi Michel,

   Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation until recently

   Yes, Scribd is somewhat similar to us, however we allow people to make
money from the documents they upload and we have large repositories of
technology documents on our site.

   I looked at your peer to peer site and I think it’s very relevant since
that’s the direction computing will go in. Probably the next biggest trend
in computing other than cloud computing. If you ever need to post documents
on your site we’d love it if you used Docstoc for that. Also, if you upload
documents to our website that you’d like to share with the general public,
we can also feature you and your blog on the www.docstoc.com homepage which
is something we do for select bloggers.

 Let us know if you have questions. Best of luck!

Hi Areg,

I gather  you are similar to scribd?

Our blog is exclusively devoted to p2p infrastructures i.e. horizontal
aggregation of human effort,

Hi Michel,

   Thanks for the message. Here at Docstoc.com we’re working to  set up
relationships with bloggers like you to help you enhance what you’re doing.
We have some free tools that bloggers are using to enhance their blogs and
drive more traffic to their site.

     Many blogs, small businesses and online newspapers like the New York
Times, Huffington Post and TechCrunch are using our document embedding
feature and we’d love it if you gave it a try too.

    From time to time we send breaking news stories that are embedded as
documents for our bloggers to insert into their blogs as I did this time
with the Judge Sotomayor story I sent – although it seems like you’re more
of a technology and SEO blog? I can send you stories that are a better fit
for that subject too!

Let me know if you have other questions,

Areg

Michel,

We thought you might find this opinion poll interesting concerning Obama’s
nomination of Justice Sotomayor to the Supreme Court:

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/6528099/Quinnipiac-Poll-on-Sonia-Sotomayor

Simply click on the link, then click on the “embed” button in the left hand
corner of the screen, and then cut and paste the code into your blog.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Best,
