pat kinselTo everyone that has used and reviewed docs.com thus far, thank you for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We’re working hard to sift through the bugs, errors and suggestions. Docs is designed to be a simple, yet powerful tool for sharing and collaborating on documents with your Facebook friends. With your input and encouragement, we’ll get there soon…

Since launching docs.com last Wednesday, we’ve updated the site several times. Improvements include:

  • Better sign-up and waiting list flows
  • Better timing of prompts for extended Facebook permissions
  • Fixed several styling bugs across browsers
  • Better thumbnail generation
    … etc.

In addition to these changes, we’re working to improve:

  • The comment stream beside each document
  • Issues opening documents in Office running on your Mac or PC
  • … and much, much more (including new features!!)

We are gradually opening up the full featured offering to those of you on the waiting list, granting you access to create and upload new documents. If you have not received an invite yet, please regularly check whichever email address you use to manage your Facebook account.

Once you receive a token, you will have full access to the site and can upload or create new docs to share with your friends. We recommend that you try a few of the following:

  • Upload papers from school and share them with your friends to get their comments
  • Share any presentations that you’ve given
  • Create new docs to work on with your friends
  • And, of course, comment on your friends’ docs

We plan to work quickly to improve the site… and we’ll keep you notified as changes are made. If you have any feedback, please submit them via the “Support” tab on the Docs Facebook page. And don’t forget to become a fan of Docs!!
