In a recent update on our docs.com Facebook fan page on our long-awaited removal of the waiting list to join our service, I said the following:
It’s been a while… but we’ve made major improvements to performance and reliability. As a result, we’ve removed the waiting list at docs.com – invite your friends and they’ll get access immediately. If all goes well, we’ll keep the service open. Also, we’ve added a new Doc Gallery showcasing interesting documents – check it out on the homepage. As always, thank you for the continued feedback…
Some have misinterpreted my statement: “If all goes well, we’ll keep the service open…”
I now know what it must have been like for Larry Speakes, who sometimes after a President Ronald Reagan news conference would have to say, “What the president meant to say was…”
In perfect 20/20 hindsight, it’s apparent I didn’t even need to include the sentence. But what I meant to say was that if we incurred a sudden spike in usage, we might reinstate the waiting list in order to continue our “controlled growth” strategy.
The good news: Since removing the waiting list we haven’t run into any issues, and usage continues to grow. We’ve also just added support for Facebook Pages and have several other enhancements in the queue that I look forward to sharing with you in the near future.
I’ll choose my words more carefully next time. In the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy our docs.com service, and I encourage you to check out our new Doc Gallery as well.
