Comment on Scribd's decision to dump flash pays off, user engagement triplesparent

I suspect that a business/pleasure line will be drawn. Social networks tend to lead you towards entertaining content, where as people turn to Google for both entertainment and critical path content. In reality, I doubt that social mechanisms will do anything more than continue to boost Google traffic.

In this case, Scribd is baking a bigger pie. I doubt either Google or Facebook need to concern themselves with arguing over the size of the slices for this one.
