'My Documents' Hits the Web

My Documents is something we all use. Whether you have a PC or a MAC, you are probably using some sort of documents folder. The major problem with storing your documents on one computer, is that you can't access them from another computer?

Today, TechCrunch broke the news on a new feature from Docstoc called MyDocs that allows you to store, edit, search, and even skin your files online:

MyDocs is essentially a dashboard for users' documents, not unlike an online version of Windows' My Documents folder. Users can skim through their files as thumbnails, search by keyword, sort each document into online folders, and modify each doc's privacy settings. Most impressive is MyDoc's Preview feature, which allows users to rapidly skim through full versions of their documents using Docstoc's Flash-based Document viewer. In Preview mode, Docstoc displays a list of thumbnails down a sidebar and presents the document itself as part of the main window, allowing users to quickly browse through their documents. In practice this worked surprisingly well - documents opened within a few seconds (oftentimes faster than they would on the desktop), making MyDocs a viable alternative to the traditional My Documents Folder.

Just watching you speak at IzeaFest, and as a German (but with an Indian father, RIP) I loved your comment about Indians rallying around your success...

Nice input on the blogger panel.

Now, back on topic: what worries me most about all these online storage facilities is... privacy and EULA terms that accord way too much freedom to the providers of these storage solutions.

What about service provider security systems ? Cloud computing (which this is part of) reliability and availability ?

I don't store any critical information in a cloud environment exclusively - except in corporate (i.e. internal) managed environments with clearly defined privacy policies, and services that have been proven to meet well defined SLAs.

This seems like it may be a lot more convenient than just emailing myself important files.

This is an excellent post , thanks a lot , I'm grateful to you .

You should check out the Y Combinator deal called DropBox. I think they compete against DocStoc and MyDocs. Nevertheless - all this is very useful and I'll look to choose one of these services.

TravisV, September 29, 2008

I think the million dollar question is how secure the service is. Most of us - among our "my documents" - have a lot of sensitive financial docs (excel spreadsheets, quicken), customer data, etc. Is the convenience of having "my documents" synchronized across various systems worth putting private docs up on the web? Maybe. Maybe not.

Personafactor.ru, October 7, 2008

I do completely agree with that you have written in this post

ProFormaDocuments, October 8, 2008

Being an intern in a software development firm working on marketing, I'm somewhat limited to my hours in the office due to other obligations such as class and extra curriculars. This will be a great way for me to save my work on my computer in my office at work, and keep working on things once I get home.

Thanks for the info!

SMS Advertising

Advertising through mobile phones offers promoters several benefits:

    *Precise targeting based on a person's preferences and behaviour.

*Several studies found that using SMS, advertisers are getting recall rates of 58% and response rates of 10%

*Time based targeting (for example, send promotional offer at 3 PM and make it valid until 5 PM)

*The use of SMS marketing is also considered an effective communication tool for advertisers since it creates a personalised, one to one relationship between a brand and a consumer.

*SMS advertising targets buyers directly & achieves a high level of interaction, as people never leave home without their mobile phones and rarely switch them off.

*SMS advertising is nothing but context based target marketing. It is contextual because Ads only go to the right people, who have a tendency to purchase your products/services. For example when you want to target sports products in a specific age group, we will send the message just to those people. SMS advertising can be integrated into planned advertising campaigns.

SMS Advertising: Benefits

* SMS is the world's largest platform to reach out to consumers as currently every mobile phone is SMS enabled -- it has 100% penetration.

* SMS targets end-customers in a very focused way via their mobile phone.

* It gives a higher recall and readership rate compared to the Internet or print ads.

* It compels the consumer to TAKE ACTION in order to enjoy a promotion, thus increasing the success rates of advertisers.

* Advertising of products and services, advertising campaign and downloads of digital products can be offered to mobile phone users (consumers) via SMS at ANYTIME and ANYWHERE without need for an Internet connection.

* It lowers the barrier to enter for advertisers: any small business -- around the corner restaurant can afford it.

* It is compatible with WAP and 3G mobile technology -- and it is already available and proven.

* Advertising campaigns can be executed regionally or globally.

* It offers a possibility of a real time assessment of results.

I have to admit I skeptical of such a practice. There is something comforting about have your docs in close physical proximity.

I use Mobile me on my mac. This also sounds interesting though. The synch capabilities on the 'Mobileme' need some tweaking which I believe are receiving much attention in the new release of OSX 10.6.
