The Obama camp uses a relatively new (well: new to me, at least) social-networking technology called “Scribd,” to share policy proposals. H/t Justin Gardner.

Hrmm... I'm not sure this qualifies as social networking, but whatever :-) Anyways, it's a nice use of an Adobe technology called FlashPaper.

As for the content itself... [Snark] Why does he need 8 pages to tell us to inflate our tires? [/snark]

This is NOT FlashPaper. Adobe discontinued development of FlashPaper in 2006. It's an original product by Scribd called iPaper.

As for the tire remark, nice work dittohead.

@ChrisWWW, you forgot to add regular engine maintenance as well.

Jason,
You're right. But still, it's the same damn thing in essence :-)

I wouldn't worry about the technical details and would pay attention and respect instead to the level of support the kids are showing for Obama, as I have noticed in Detroit metro as well as in Iowa. (Pete, I suspect the troops are still there on the Loop in U. City in full combat mode, as they were earlier this year, stationed outside Tivoli Theater, for example.)
