I guess you have to be really lucky nowadays if you can even manage to get your site to the front page of dugg, what with all the diggers out there and there heavy handed ‘bury’ button. But some sites do get very very lucky. One of those sites just happens to be docstoc.com, if your reading this post on the same day that I am posting it don’t bother clicking on the link as it has been down for the last half an hour. It seems that the people at docstoc can not handle all the traffic that is eating up their servers at the moment. You have to remember they are not just a site where people can come and read, but at this point in time they have 1000’s of people probably uploading documents to the site, hence the reason the reason the server is being hammered to death.

DocStoc is the YouTube for Documents. Hence DocStoc (Document Stock, get it?) I love how these new startups are so smart with the way they name their companies. Here is the description from TechCrunch:

Want to share some of those secret company files with the world? Starting today, you can upload them to Docstoc and share them in an embeddable Flash player.Actually, the service is more for standard business documents like leases, employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements, wills and the like. Docstoc is designed to be a shared repository of commonly used forms and documents.

If you remember DocStoc was one of the 40 companies that was selling its ideas to all the venture capitalists at the following little venue:

Today, when the site has been made public, it has been mentioned on TechCrunch, and been Dugg already. Whats even better is that the article on TechCrunch was also Dugg to the front page. Now that is one hell of a way to start a business.

Do I think it will succeed?:

Hell YES! This is one of those ideas that everyone is probably kicking themselves in the butt wondering why they did not think of it first. The idea was obviously good enough to get the venture vulcans involved so it will definitely be a huge success, but thats not the only reason.

IT’S FRIGGIN VIRAL!

Oh, you need that document? You can get it from DocStoc.

G’damn I am pissed that I did not think of this.

Do you think it will succeed? Who’s going to buy this first GooGle or MicroSoft?
