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!

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.

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
