Scribd


I found Scribd the other day. They currently are using flash but are moving to HTML5. I am intrigued by the idea of inline PDF viewing on PDF heavy sites. Need to explore this more.

Gozaic - Historic Travel Site

Ok, so I clicked on an advertisement the other day.  I normally don't but I am glad I did.  I found Gozaic (http://www.gozaic.com/).  If is created and maintained by "Heritage Travel, Inc. a for-profit subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation is the company behind Gozaic, the dynamic online travel community where people find and share heritage- and culture-rich experiences. The mission of Heritage Travel, Inc. is to present travelers with a broad range of heritage destinations, sites and events that define our collective past and enrich our lives – and help them connect through places that matter."  I have just begun exploring it but if you are into traveling to historic places, this is a must visit.

Cool Example of HTML5 in Action

I found this great example of what can be done with HTML5, especially the canvas element.   This web app alows for some cool drawing types that go beyond Paint.  Check out http://muro.deviantart.com/.
