SlideBoom is a new launched Web 2.0 service which let users share their Power Point presentation online. Two more similar service are Scribd and SlideShare.
You can upload and share their presentation files without registration. But, these files will be removed from the server within one week, unless you create an account, which is free also. The maximum file size is limited to 30MB and currently they only support .ppt and .pps format (Power Point 2000, XP, and 2003).
Unfortunately, pdf format is not supported, which is the main disadvantage compare to other similar services such as Scribd and SlideShare.
However, SlideBoom provides an interesting feature for its users, which allow you to convert the presentation offline before upload. The conversion is done by a free software called iSpring Free.
Note: SlideBoom not support Open Office document (.odp). So, make sure you create your presentation slide in Microsoft Office format before upload.

Scribd had launch a program called Convert your paper to iPaper, which means they will scan your paper documents for free, and publish them on the internet for free.
Document sharing website Scribd launched iPaper in February and now they are taking one step further to introduce this service. The company has a strict process to make sure you are not going to send them a lot of documents. Here is the instruction:
To participate, just send a brief description of the type and quantity of your documents to paper@scribd.com. A Scribd representative will reply shortly with further instructions for how and where to mail the documents. Scribd will have the content scanned and published on Scribd.com to be easily shared with anyone. Include your Scribd username along with your paper so that your content will be published in your account. If you are not a Scribd user, include your email address, and Scribd will email you a link to your published content.
I believe this service will bring a lot of benefits to students, as they can get free scanning service and can share their documents with friends.
Scribd claims that this service will be available for limited time only, and they may choose to not scan the materials received. For further information, please visit their page.
