DocStoc looks horrible in my opinion? They have database errors even popping up on their blog? It looks like they got exactly what they paid for - programming done in India. No wonder they are in "infinite beta" docstuck is doomed docstoc sucks I must be missing something. DocStoc looks horrible in my opinion? They have database errors even popping up on their blog?

Fortunately it was nearly 800 square feet and I did so because turning my master bedroom into a full on living room and entertainment room was more fun. Hope Brett's closet accomodations were as roomy. I once slept in a closet too Brad.

Docstoc's management is bright, conscientious and determined to deliver a unique document-oriented community unparalleled on the web. I understand that there is an endless stream of features they intend to introduce to this ever-improving on-line community. Backed by an experienced management team and a solid balance sheet I'm expecting tremendous things from Docstoc.

You can confirm via one of the original SEC filings of the company below. He is not an officer of the company post-launch/being public, nor is he a significant shareholder (2 key sections to look at. IN fact he is not mentioned anywhere in the filings. . I was the founder/Chairman and gave Brett a job after i started the company doing investor relations as a favor because his commercial real estate job was not paying the bills and he was living in the closet of another of our friends (no joke).

Is this bad practice? We haven't been naming the investors or amounts, we just talk about it because this is our first time around and to be honest until recently we didn't know jack $@#& about how it all works. So we're learning about it as we go along. Doesn't this make sense? Otherwise the deal is done and it's too late for us to make the best deal and find the best investors we can. By telling people that we are closing anyday(which is the truth), it seems to have drawn out better advice from people because now they know that their advice is going to have an immediate impact.

Put whatever dress on you like, you are still selling documents along with every other document selling whore on the internet street corner.

But let's hope that he's figured out a way to improve on Gazhoo's model (which right now is flat superior). Gazhoo actually pays you to upload docs and will pay you more if they are popular downloads. Very clever stuff. That sounds like big money!
