I've just been helping Graham Bates with his blog over at
Are we the Clever Country? His blog traces progress since he published his idea and rationale to colocate a thermal desalination plant at Portland Aluminium Smelter. After trying a variety of online document services we were able to publish a pdf version at Scribd and embed the document within the blog - so curious people did not have to leave the blog.
Today we wanted to check some of the references and couldn't read the embedded (ie relatively small text) version too well, so popped in to
the Dying of Thirst document at Scribd. We discovered some of the features we hadn't noticed first time around:
- Where people are who view the document, list and map
- how they were referred to it (eg which searches / link sources), chart and list
- comments
- "Like it"
- favourites
- bookmarlets (people could digg it or del.icio.us tag it) (something we haven't been able to do with the pdfs Graham has cited).
I've just discovered that more people have viewed Graham's other document "Hot Topic or just Hot Air", yet they don't appear to have also viewed the otherone. I think we need to link from one to the other through description and/or comment.

ABOUT COMMENTING HERE:
1. You can use some HTML tags, such as <b>, <i>, <a>
2. Apparently blogspot requires that we allow third party cookies for the darn feature to work. Sorry, nothing I can do about it - Google will lead you to instructions.
3. I don't generally post on contentious issues so I don't expect problems.
However, I will delete comments I consider:
disrespectful, destructive, irrelevant or SPAM, (even sucking up: praising my post without reason while linking to a business site).
