Scribd Finally Starts A New Chapter With A Redesign	Scribd, the popular document sharing hub, has finally rolled out a much-needed redesign. The site has long been hampered by a messy homepage that wasn’t attractive for first-time visitors, displaying a list of its top features in lieu of a YouTube-esque stream of featured documents. The old design made it clear that Scribd worked well as a utility, but didn’t make it attractive as a destination site.

The cell phone market could easily put business cards out of their misery, but instead of conforming to a single standard for contact exchange, handset manufacturers offer proprietary solutions or none at all. FriendBook, an iPhone application from Tapulous, looked like it might hold the answe...	August 27, 2008

Dollar Tree – Is It an FX Play?	Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR) reported some excellent results. Their press release headlines a 27.3% increase in EPS. Sounds good.
