Edocr Aims To Be A DocStoc For Corporates - Is That Enough?

Edocr, a smaller competitor to other document sharing startups like
DocStoc and Scribd, re-launches today with new features and an API,
after a long time off-radar.

Eschewing the publisher focus of Issuu, or the broad business focus of
DocStoc, the boot-strapped Edocr focuses on corporates and
organisations. So for instance, companies can upload all their
public-facing documents, whether they be company reports, press
releases, guidance documents, you name it. Admittedly the slightly
dull-but-necessary focus is not going to set the world alight, but
with plenty of enterprises still getting their heads around the basics
of blogging, RSS and even social networks like Twitter, edocr is a
simple way for companies to share their PDFs without being lumped
alongside a pirated copy of a Harry Potter novel.

New features include an improved design, bulk uploading of documents,
an API, document categories, better search and the ability to
auto-tweet to a Twitter account when new documents get uploaded. The
question is, will that be enough to set it
