We shall see though, I usually give any web app a few weeks to see if it finds a way into my routine.

We also have a similar concept but very much business oriented with slightly different business model. We are much behind the other two in terms of roll out, but it would be great to get some early feedback. Have a look at http://www.edocr.com. If you like what you see, do get in touch through "contact us" page so that your company can have a free account. We will also be around at Mashup* Demo on 2nd or FOWA on 3rd in London if anyone fancy a chat.

Scribd has been here for almost an year now.. the volume is bound to differ at this stage.. esp. when the content is community generated.. lets give it sometime and then we can compare.. @MarcT hey.. scanning an uploading will be a good start.. ;) you can contribute to the creative section on the site with this. For the other docs you are looking for, you can put a request for them on the site.. probably its just a matter of time.. we just need a few more guys on the site who can scan upload the things they have been collecting for ages.. ;) no offense.. hey .. docstoc is just a few weeks old..

I like the request a doc feature though. The search is not as good and the stats are pretty much non-existant compared to scribd. It may take a while for this to get enough documents for it to be interesting (if ever).
