Easy document sharing and discussion tool

dis.cuss.it may still be in closed beta, but we have released a new product called docubate.com which is a mash-up of the dis.cuss.it widget and the Scribd iPaper viewer.

The product makes it super easy to share and discuss documents. Simply enter your email address, accept the T&C’s and upload your document (supports MS Office and Open Office docs, plus Adobe Acrobat/PDF files) and an email is sent to your address containing a link to a webpage that contains your doc rendered in the superb iPaper control, with the facility to download the original file, or pdf version, if required.

Beneath the iPaper control there is the dis.cuss.it widget for discussing the uploaded document. Share the document with others either by forwarding them the link in the email or by using the “share on facebook” tool.

We built the Docubate application to help promote the dis.cuss.it system, and demonstrate how it’s ideal for building into mash-up applications. The product is FREE to use so please make use of it, and give us some feedback on how you get on.
