DocStoc – the next big thing in file sharing

Thursday March 29, 2007 in: Toys For The Boys Tag(s):

We are in the days of open source where everything can be shared to the community free of charge. That's what drove Linux and all others to the top; providing the public with relevant and useful tools for free.

This is also the age of user-generated content sites. Wikipedia, YouTube, and Flickr become big names out of this very basic principle. Users provide content while these sites host them and manage them in a way that they can be searched and used by others in a social networking fashion. Indeed, file sharing has never been this easy and exciting because of this highly effective and highly addictive method.

Now, a file sharing site, DocStoc.com, is about to join in the fun. But instead of hosting videos and photos as what YouTube and Flickr have already been doing, this one tries to focus on hosting more useful files such as legal and educational documents.

The DocStoc blog reveals that DocStoc.com is a free online document exchange database and social networking site that allows users to store, search, and share virtually any type of document (word, excel, powerpoint, pdf, illustrator, etc...). DocStoc will be the online community for sharing all types of documents.

DocStoc will focus on three primary applications namely: 1) Business/Legal, which deals with legal and financial templates; 2) Educational, which aims to provide educational materials to both students and teachers; and 3) Self-Expression, which provides an online community to share scripts, creative writing, and e-books.

The site will soon be launched in April 2007 and is geared to attract many users by the end of the year. To know more about the features that will be offered by the site, click here.
