Conclusion

I’m a big fan of the document search space. I think there’s a ton of potential in the area right now. And I’m saying this even knowing that there’s two dominant players battling it out in the space: Scribd and DocStoc.
Where I think the true competitive advantage sits with DocJax is their simplicity-focused format. Once you type in a specific keyword, you’re presented with surprisingly relevant results. Additionally, if you want to preview a document, a nice styled ajax box pops up (I found a couple that were powered/housed by Scribd). I found a couple where something went wrong; however, I believe that’s on the end of the document uploader–or wherever the document is sitting.
Also, view the TED video below from Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the world wide web. See what he views as the future of the web:
Bottom line: You no longer have to parse your document search between two conglomerates (scribd and docstoc). Although I’m a loyal Scribd user, I really like DocJax’s big-picture aproach. It’s worth checking out. Keep your eye on this one.
