"Think of of Docstoc and Scribd the Wal-Mart of documents and Issuu the IKEA of documents. They both have products that are useful, but IKEA has the higher quality."

I don't think you really want to equate yourself with IKEA on quality...


yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.

That's like saying, "It's not as bad as it could be (Wal-Mart), but it's still pretty marginal."


Issuu has the ugliest hover-over title bar I've ever seen. I should not see the entire page sink down based on a hover. A click, maybe: not a hover.

I'm not impressed. It's not tight at all. The page feels loose and sloppy.


Don't really like the fact that I have to click on the arrows on the menu bar to get the options, would be more intuitive with display on hoovering.

Otherwise a neat page, great job on the design.


you might want to check your spelling of 'Tim Berners-Lee' on this page: http://issuu.com/holdenpage/docs/web20


was a quick document i put together for the purposes of this article, probably lots of inaccurate things in it :) lol

Thanks for pointing it out though and thanks for commenting
