What exists out there?
The working hours of an average human exceeds 50 hours per
week yet there is not convenient platform to share documents
and information.
Academics-centric sites like IEEE, ACM, Science-Direct,
Google scholar are either paid sites or deal explicitly with
research papers and expositories.
Sites like gigapedia.com, enips.com, scribd.com are general
purpose document upload and public sharing sites.
These sites are cluttered with popular media, pirated ebooks,
pornographic content and general noise, reducing their
relevance to work and academics.
Academic discussion sites are generally meant for specific
discussions E.g., dsprelated.com

Why Companies Should Move Here?
Companies and institutes have internal sharing of documents,
but there is no place for sharing of data between
companies, institutes and startups.
There does not exist any portability of data.
Webspace is always expensive and difficult to maintain.
Unnecessary overhead is incurred by smaller institutions and
organizations.
A company has no place to advertise its expertise in particular
domains.
Internal sharing is fraught with deletions of documents for
want of space.

Why Should Students Use DocShare?
No interaction between the industry and the students.
Companies can benefit from the students and viceversa, but
online networking today is only meant for individuals.
No archive of academic documents are maintained.
Students generally don’t have access to other universites’
documents and sharing data with friends is also clumsy.
Personal data is not portable in most scenarios, with emailing
being an inefficient and unprofessional approach.

Why Should Students Use DocShare?
Creating shared documents has caught up but doesn’t allow a
Wiki approach.
Discussions amongst friends are generally done over mail
though a thread format would be more suitable.
Students looking for industry experience, internships and
freelancing opportunities have had an unfruitful experience
with conventional jobsites.
Ideal place to create homepages and professional blogs since
people could come looking for useful data that could have
been posted.

Why Should Freelancers Use DocShare?
No profiles for organizations on any social networking
websites.
Highly customized advertisements would make sponsored
advertisements relevant.
An organised approach to freelancing would be provided
through the concept of regustering organizations.
Relevant freelancing and job opportunities would be displayed
on the profile and the search pages to visitors.
Currently popular freelancing sites are cluttered with
documents in some cases and advertisements in some.

How is DocShare different from Yahoo TWiki?
TWiki is not accessible from outside Yahoo! network.
TWiki is not an avenue for Yahoo! to publicise its research,
incase it wants to.
No personal documents and notes can be uploaded.
No concept of a “profile”.
No feeds and no desktop uploads.
