comments about scribd getting growth through porn? whats the problem, sex is big business (ok maybe they could make the 18+ section a little more prominent etc) so scribd have found a potential niche, if you don’t agree with it don’t visit.

docstoc seems to have been overhyped and after seeing the beta there’s not much to get excited over as the social network element is pointless and the blog search is so random and makes no sense at all.

just like youtube theres always room for several big sites, it doesn’t seem like edocr will need much effort to overtake docstoc into second place behind scribd

I don’t get why anyone thinks that these sites will remain porn and solicitor free. Currently, either site is free of these due to the fact that they are either still in beta or with a relatively limited user base. I am willing to bet anyone that once they get big, you will start seeing documents where the first 2 or 3 pages of the document are provided and then a big “Click here to purchase this document” will appear. Even for one page documents, this could still happen. Unless these companies start reviewing documents (or provide a reporting mechanism to report improper documents), it is inevitable that this will happen.

Google used to give the best search results, now they give more and more crap as results (top links are always to shopping websites for most of my searches) because people learned how to manipulate their systems. The same will happen with these. To truly provide good results and service, these sites will need to review the documents that are posted up there. This is what sets apart stock photo websites from photo sharing websites. When you submit a photo to a stock website, it is reviewed, graded, and then only posted when it matches or exceeds a specific criteria. If DocStoc and eDocr plan on remaining for the working professional, their service will need to be much more than just stating that they are for the working professionals.

Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at showfx1.thinkfreedocs.com:8080.

I guess reliability isn’t thinkfree docs’ strong point. Seriously, the infrastructure for these kinds of sites must be interesting. What kind of servers do they run on, do they use Amazon S3 etc. for data storage?

Looks good. If edocr can avoid the spam that plagues scribd, it might just be the next big thing.

sounds like scribd without the copyrighted material and excessive porn.

maybe docstoc and edocr can provide a good service sticking to professional & technical documents?
