Good point.

I've sent her an email.



Apologies; I hadn't had issues with Scribd myself (Chrome/Linux), didn't realize others did.

It is also on slideshare, and I can upload to other desired formats.

It is originally a Microsoft PPT, as that makes the 15 seconds timing easy to enforce and practice.


For viewing slides, I generally prefer a PDF (as Preview an Safari's built in PDF viewer are generally pretty decent), or Google Docs. The problem with Scribd and SlideShare is that they require Flash, which is slow and buggy (it's crashing every time I try to view your slides on Scribd), and they generally have interfaces with lots of extra junk and ads all over the place.


You've sent her e-mail to complain that she used Scribd? I have to say, that's both selfish and obnoxious.

Especially because you can just click the download link and get it in whatever format you want.


I tried clicking the download link. It forces you to register.

I was not willing to register with a non-functional website I didn't want to use. That was the point I pulled out Firefox instead.
