Yummy Pdf search
Remember del.icio.us and del.irio.us? Social Bookmarking sites. Well, a new kind of evolution has happened with all the blogging, linking, social bookmarking, friend networks.
Social Pdf linking. Check it out, it a nice place to get ebooks to read. Though, they are mostly tech for now. I think a link to Project Gutenberg might be of help here!
But why all this? It’s because a link from a human person almost always tends to be more relevant than a google query, and hence the interest in social networks, recommendations etc.
Alrite, off to hit the books again. Enuf rant for today!
About robotgeek
Rocker, philosopher, Mac lover, geek, robotics freak and an optimist. These describe me adequately, i guess!
When I find time away from my lab, I love to code my robots using java to be compatible with robocode . I also make it a point to visit Slashdot or read on Wikipedia . Of course, all this has to be done while listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or Pearl Jam, mostly on Shoutcast online radio .
I also like to read. Though I don't find much time now, I generally stick to what I like, which is Ayn Rand. Let's just hope the world heads in the right direction
2004 has been the year of the blog, and I could not be left out!

I am a little bit lost. Why do you need a seperate social bookmarking engine to post pdf’s? What am I missing or not seeing? Why not just list these sites on sites like del.icio.us or blinklist? I have been using an online bookmarking engine to save links to sites, online radio stations, and pdfs. Why do you need multiple sites? I guess it might be a little cleaner so you know what you get but you could just use a tag to store pdfs seperately if that is really what a user wants. bookmarking pdfs
True, a pdf tag would work just as fine, but this is a lot cleaner (considering that it’s only a pdf bookmarking service). Of course, if you do use a service already, a pdf tag to that service would be pretty convenient.
Variety is a good thing! And I guess, these guys got the idea first. So it’s definetly a “me too”, but a neat one! Maybe, they add mp3′s and video’s with some kind of p2p application links, and whoa…u’ve got a big app/service on your hands, with a couple of lawsuits following
