Thanks for these sources! Some I never knew were even out there. I assume these aren’t ranked in any particular order? On my blog I try to create good suggestions too, but I think this is a good topic.

Yes Attie there is an order but not so clearly, I think first number is at proper place.

Hi Manoj thanks, I will tell you.
It's always worth checking out http://www.glasscubes.com for file sharing too. We tried it out about 4 months ago and haven't looked back! So easy. Also quite like Scribd at the top of the list when we tried that, but stuck with Glasscubes because of the simplicity.

You missed Google Docs.
When I was writing this post Google Docs was in my mind, but it is an online office suite and alternative to MS office, and I already has a post about online offices, so I did not included it.

Hello.
If I wanted to publish informational papers, needing to update them occationally and upload Word or PDF. The look should “serious” and not too “cool” – to initiate a thrust with the audience.
I have seen services that offer for example page flipping as in regular magazines etc. but think it might be better to present them in a more traditional way.
And of course – limited resources :-)
What would be you preference?
Thank, Lars
