This tip just came in from someone, 
“SCRIBD.COM IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY, AND THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS RAISING MORE MONEY”
According to some recent research, they have about 20′ish employees.
More About them;
Scribd is a social document sharing website. They borrowed a lot of their design principles from YouTube, but also took advantage of the written format by including flexible file formats for download and upload along with some interesting analytics tracking. Documents can be displayed and embedded as html or the under-utilized, and faster-than-a-pdf, Flash paper format. They can be downloaded as .pdf’s, .docs, .txt, and even .mp3 files. The mp3 version is created by Scribd’s text-to-speech package (powered by Nuance) that lets you listen to the text of your document in a quivering British accent. They had 1.73 million unique visitors in May 2007.
