Yesterday we posted on Hacker News asking for your feedback, and wow, did you guys come through! We are very so grateful for all the great constructive feedback we received. We hope that going forward we can continue to use Hacker News as a sounding board to help make our product better.

To say thank you, we'd like to invite all users of Hacker News to the Scribd 3 Year Anniversary Party tonight in SF. We honestly didn't plan to do this originally, but we were so overwhelmed by the response that it felt like the right thing to do. Here is the invitation:

FYI anyone who follows that URL will be logged in as you.


wish I was in SF ;/


aww. me too ;/


What documents should I bring?


All of them. :)


Have you guys done my 3+ year old request of making a cool URL scheme for encoding documents?

http://microsoft.com.scribd.com/some/path/to/a/document.pdf

I'd attend your party if I could. Sounds cool. Good luck.


That looks a bit shaky to me. Confusing to users, impersonation, etc

http://scribd.com/microsoft.com/path/to/document.pdf would have less issues.


Works well enough for Coral Cache http://news.ycombinator.com.nyud.net/item?id=1328844


Since this is after all a community of geeks and hackers, we can probably expect people to comment here from the party. Elsewhere, it would be a social faux pas, but here, it's probably a sign of not being there only for the booze and hors d'oeuvres.


When I tried that link it said I wasn't on the guest list to that event :(


Great party, thanks for the invite.


Great meeting you there, thanks for coming!


address?


539 Bryant Street, Suite 200


When? Someone should really either fix the link in the OP or give the info there... I'm not sure what this Anyvite site is, but this is giving me a horrible first impression for something that may or may not even be their fault. Unfortunate, but such are first impressions...


Anyvite is a YC company. Their Tweetvite service - http://twvt.us - is baller. I've never actually used the old-school Anyvite service.
