DocVerse: Syncing Makes Better Collaboration

9 Nov 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In Google Docs, you can collaborate with other people when you are working online. Making edits to a document while offline can be an issue as the syncing capabilities get a bit tricky when you reconnect.

The DocVerse team knows the challenges of working on deeply collaborative technologies. The founders came from Microsoft where they worked on Sharepoint and SQL.

They left Microsoft to solve two problems:

Make it simple to share documents.

And provide the capability for multiple people to edit documents without having to go through the tedious process of tracking multiple versions of a document.

DocVerse does this by installing a lightweight Flash-based plug-in that is installed in the background of the user’s machine. The plug-in opens a widget in the document sidebar that includes a unique link. Any time a user makes an update, the plug-in syncs the web page that is associated with the document. Every modification gets synced. When multiple people work on a document, the updates are made through the plug-in and versions are stored online.

With DocVerse, a document can be edited when a user is working offline. When the user connects again, the plug-in syncs and makes the update.

Comments may be updated in a similar fashion. The plug-in has the capability to comment on a particular aspect of a document. When a comment is made, everyone who is working on the document also sees it.

This is a feature similar to what CubeTree provides.

DocVerse offer an on-premise solution as well as an online version.

Jive Software is using the DocVerse functionality for their product add-on: Jive Connects for Microsoft Office. This is an enterprise product that works behind the firewall.

Pricing for DocVerse starts at $6 per month for an individual and $49.99 for teams.

It can vary greatly.

In the begining, once the site is COMPLETE submit a google site map.

That is all you can really do, other than making sure you have a nice SEO friendly website to help rankings.

It does take time to get into google and once you are in google, if you site is reasonable changes and new pages can show up within a matter of hours. – my blog posts on my blog are usually added within 3 hours to google results.

Don't worry too much, worry more about making a good site, which is valid and user friendly, and google will come and do the rest

Hi There,

first of all you can't just copy your installation files located at c:program files

What you can do is save all your MS Office projects and documents that you are working on.

and then find out what the serial # for your current MS Office is:
you can do this by downloading and running this app called Magical Jelly Bean. download from

and then you can get an installation CD from any friend. (it needs to be the same version as yours)

Good Luck
