Have you seen .docstoc?

// November 10th, 2007 // Blog & Tech Items

I recently received a ping on Plaxo Pulse from Stan Orlowski sharing the link to the new Docstoc site. Apparently they just came out of beta and launched yesterday with over 7,000 users and over 12,000 documents online and ready to view/download.Ok, so what is Docstoc?

docstoc is a user generated community for sharing professional documents.

Find a vast quantity of high quality legal, business, technology, educational, and creative documents for free. docstoc allows users to upload their documents for all the world to share.

In addition, users can store their documents in their own personal online folders for anytime, anywhere access.

Think of it as YouTube for professional documents.

Now, upon visiting the site you can definitely tell that they’re recently out of beta considering the challenges of just creating an account with FireFox.. If you want an account and you’re using FF, switch to IE and save the headache (they’re running in ASP which is Microsoft and we all know how well MS doesn’t play well with others…).

The site is quite easy to use, looks good, and appears to have some quality stuff there too. Sure, there is some garbage (find me a “user generated community” which doesn’t) yet the quick digging I did came up with some solid stuff:

• Bloggers Handbook
• Web Site Planning
• The Little Book Of Leadership
• Buget Planner (Excel)

Really, not a bad little site at all. I think they key is to watch and see where it grows to over the next few months.
