Scribd Launches Readcast, 
Integrates with

Facebook® Social Plugins


To Make Reading More Social

SAN FRANCISCO -- April 21, 2010 -- Scribd, the world's largest


social publishing and reading site, is launching Scribd Readcast
integrated with Facebook’s new social plugins launched at
Facebook’s f8 developer conference today. Readcast is a set of
features that enables people to automatically share what they're
reading on Scribd with their friends on Facebook and other social
sites. The Facebook Like button and Activity Feed are also now
part of the Scribd social reading experience.

“Scribd is the place where connections form around shared reading


interests," said Trip Adler, CEO and co-founder Scribd. “Now, the
universe of social reading suddenly opens up to include Twilight
fan fiction, investigative reports about Goldman Sachs, Mary
Meeker's Web 2.0 presentation, tips for using solar power. This
reflects the breadth and depth of what people read on a daily basis,
not just what they're reading on news sites."

Readcast is a customizable feature that enables people to


automatically share what they’re reading on Scribd with friends on
Facebook and contacts on other social media sites. People can also
choose to share other Scribd reading events such as scribbles,
comments, ratings, downloads and eventually mobile reading
activity, printing and purchases. Click here for more information
about Readcast.

Faceboook social plugins integration enables Scribd users to


“like” their favorite reading material and to see -- without leaving
Scribd.com -- which Scribd books, research, presentations,
illustrations and other written works their friends on Facebook
friends “like,” comment on, and share.
"Scribd's integration with our new social plugins allows people to
create social connections around written works," said Ethan Beard,
director of Facebook Developer Network. "Now, its easier to
connect with friends on Facebook who are reading the same books,
researching the same topics or sharing the same recipes you would
like."
