About a year ago, if you got mentioned on Techcrunch, it was the first step to getting 20,000 users. Basically every reader would sign up for an account and give things a work out. It was the case that many drifted away, but if you were able to keep their attention, it could make you another darling on the Web 2.0 scene.

The impact so far today for edocr appears to be a little less dramatic, but Manoj was still pleased to be shown some love by the guys at TC. I’m pleased that I know somebody who finally made it onto Techcrunch - those of us outside of the valley and London tend to struggle.

It’s just a shame really that they didn’t really quite get what it is he’s trying to do with it, which he discussed at tonight’s mashup* event. It’s not just about sharing documents, but about building data around them and helping people understand businesses and services better together in a collaborative way.

I’ll write up tonight’s event properly in the morning - I’m a bit dead on my feet right now - but it was definitely worth attending for me, and I’ve met some really interesting people tonight.
